My wife and I have spent 20 years together, having two wonderful sons, and building a life together. We left out one important factor, Jesus Christ. Recently my wife has announced she is no longer sure what she wants out of life and does not know if she wants to be with me any lionger. I have prayed diligently believing God can fix anything but I am scared that this is it... I do not want to discount God's majesty but this anxiety is over whelming! I continue to pray, just hoping for God's purpose to be served. Am I being selfish?

I know just how you feel bud. The anxiety too has my stomach in a permanent knot and I feel like throwing up. You're not alone.

It's not selfish to want to fix things, it's natural and mature to TRY to work it out.
God created us for relationship, so we should fix the relationships we have.

If she in unwilling it's not your fault, family is a beautiful thing but it takes BOTH parents effort to make it work.
You can't carry her forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
