pray for wife

[forjesus]

My wife needs to be more understanding. She grew up always getting what she wanted and now if someone dosen't do what she wants she gets mad. She is a Christian and is a loving person but she has no understanding toward some things. I try to do everything i can for her, and that means helping with the housework, taking care of both children, plus I shop for her everyday at work, and I just feel that she dosen't appreciate anything. I love my wife, and I want her to be happy, but where do I draw the line. It seems she's never satisified with me or anyone else who tries to do things for her. I need advice, and prayer, because I love my family dearly, and just want some peace, and respect. God Bless

You sure know how to ask some questions and a lot of them.
The first I would say because you are not feeling appreciated is don't look to pleasing man but do the shopping, caring for the children and loving your wife for the Lord. Do everything as unto the Lord. In life you are always going to find people that are ungrateful, but don't look at what they are doing. Look at what you are doing. Focus your eyes on God. satan wants you to focus your eyes on your wife and the treatment you are receiving. The devil is using this to wear you down and trash your marriage. Sounds like God is using this as iron sharpens iron to refine you both and rid all selfishness, and sins of the flesh. My suggestion is write a list of your wifes good points thank God for these. When the devil reminds you of the negative thank God by faith for the positive. And keep on loving with Gods love. You are going to have to choose what you hear. As Jesus said take heed what you hear. Praise God for who he is. Focus your eyes fully on him.
When you know the fullness of his name, character you will know that he is bigger and able to fix all your problems.
Also find good to praise your wife about herself. Make a decision to sow praise her way. and in due season if you do not faint you will reap your harvest.

Will be praying for you.

Look to yourself for changes, ask God what you can do to bring peace into your life. She may not be happy, but don't let that effect your relationship with God. You stick with God, and let Him work on her.
You may have to stand up for yourself, but don't think you can force her to change, just don't let her bully you around.
I feel this is common in American relationships.


Lord I hold up "forjesus" and ask you to fill him with peace and wisdom on this matter. What ever changes you would like him to make, bring them to light. Work on her heart as well Lord.

SUNSTONE has given you some really good words of wisdom. "Something" is making her unhappy, but you can only do so much. Continue to pray for her and let Him do the rest. Does she realize how or why she is so hard to please? I pray the Lord opens her eyes to the wonderful mate she has that is obviously more than willing to do his share around the house. Men like you are hard to find, hope she learns to appreciate you. Some women have no help at all.

Thank you all for your prayers, but I believe I might have mislead you by mistake. My marriage by no means is being trashed by the devil. My wife is very happy, and I am also. There are just some things I would like prayer for to improve on our marriage. I have known my wife over 20 years, and love her dearly. We were baptized togethor, and we both love the lord,. I probably should have never posted this, because I don't want people getting the wrong idea. She would probably want prayer for me to be more understanding also. If I mislead you all into thinking my marriage is in some sort of trouble, then I am very sorry. I just think we all need prayer about certain things we could change to make life a little better. God Bless

Thats it, I take my prayer back! J/K

A wise man here who doesn't wait for things to get bad, before he turns to the Lord for help. Good job "forjesus" I pray that this is an example in my life, that when ever an issue comes up, I will think of your mature way of nipping the problem in the bud.

Thank you sunstone, I really appreciate your prayers, and thank you with all my heart. God Bless you, and I will pray for you also.
