Please pray for my marriage, & for my husband, greg. After 28 yrs of employment, his company is 'down-sizing', so they say, & greg was let go in a sweep of over 20 other engineers there. That was 4 months ago. He has done nothing to find a new job. I understand all the issues he's faced with & have been understanding & patient. However, his alcoholism has escalated. I've about reached the end of my rope. He is getting mean & verbally abusive. Please pray for guidance & Divine intervention. Thank you.
After 3 marriages, this one lasting 21 years, I suppose I'm not marriage material.

You've lasted 21 years and don't think you're marriage material? That doesn't make sense! It seems like you are marriage material -- you just need to find your strength in God during these tough times, support and pray for your husband, and try to find solutions together as a single unit. Praying for you!
