My Online Marriage Prayer Requests

My online marriage prayer requests: Good evening, I am praying for strength in my marriage. I have been married for 1 year and 5 month. This is my first marriage. I try to do everything perfect. But nothing I do ever seems right. I feel as though I have lost myself. I feel as though I have lost myself along the way. I get fussed at a lot. My husband stated that our first anniversary wasn't worth celebrating. That hurt me to my heart. He stated that he is not happy. I am new to marriage. This is his second marriage. I am trying. He tells me that I am the best for him, and that he loves me, and he thanks me for being patient with him. But when I upset him, he says the opposite. I'm flabby, or I've gained weight. Mind you I am a size 4/6 and wear x-small dress size. So now I feel fat and out of shape.He gets on me about working out a lot. I am trying but I don't know how to stand up for myself. I used to be able to speak my mind. I wasn't mean but spoke what I felt. I used to be able to wear my hair the way I liked. Now I can't. I am forced to wear my hair the way my husband likes.I don't think that marriage calls for changing your inner self. I know that you do have to change things but not everything. I need help and I need council and guidance. I don't have friends that I can talk to. I need help and prayer. I need to know what to do and how to make my husband happy with me. Please pray for me.

We are Praying for You
by: Min. Mike and Wanda

Father, we come today on behalf of our sister. We ask that you would first of all give her peace in the midst of this storm that she is in. Let her know that you love her with an undying love, and that she is the apple of your eye. We pray that you would give her the courage and the words to talk to her husband. We pray that you would give him the heart to hear her. We ask that you would send Godly men and women into their lives to model marriage for them. We pray that in the end both will be drawn closer to you and that you would receive all of the Glory. In Jesus name; Amen.

I understand where you're coming from....

Hi, my name is Joshua, I'm 24 and I've been married for 4 years, and if i had to say; in a way my wife can kinda better relate where you're coming from. Don't get me wrong, I'm not that bad myself and I'm very understanding but our problem would be is that she looks and confides in others for guidance instead of her own husband. So my advice is for you'll to try to talk, b/c I've always saw that communication plays a great role in marriage. Also, not excluding the greatest role in which would be, God. So keep praying and have faith, wish i could help more....
