After 12 years of marriage, my wife and I are separated. What started as small disagreements grew into walls of resentment and silence. We have two beautiful children who deserve to grow up in a loving, unified home. I take responsibility for my part in this. I worked too much. I didn't listen when she needed to talk. I let stress make me irritable and distant. By the time I realized what was happening, she had already built walls around her heart. She moved out three months ago. The kids split their time between us, confused and hurting. Every time I see their little faces trying to understand why mommy and daddy don't live together anymore, my heart breaks into a thousand pieces. I still love her. I believe she still loves me somewhere beneath the pain. I am in counseling, working on myself, trying to become the husband I should have been all along. But I cannot do this alone. I am asking for prayers for reconciliation, for softened hearts, for forgiveness to flow between us. Pray that God would remove the pride and hurt that keeps us apart. Pray for our children to have peace during this storm.
