This is a HUGE deal for men....probably comparible to how we feel when we aren't feeling love. Their need to provide for us is tied to their self esteem like nothing else. I will pray for you and your marriage. This is the kind of stuff satan tries to use to create havoc in the home. PRay for him. be supportive of him. remind him often of reasons that you RESPECT him. He needs to hear you respect him as much as you need to hear I love you.
I am most definately praying for you....I'm in a worst case scenario that started with financial pressures. Wish I'd know then what I know now. So many things I would have done differently. And I would have prayed deeply daily then not just the surface, here and there prayers of my youth.
Hey....not sure how long you've been married or if you are a reader.....but an aweseome book (even just to skim thru if your not a reader) is Love and Respect by Dr. Eggerson. 1/3 of the book you get to skip (it's the part he is supposed to read). But a lot of insight. My point....men carry financial stressors different than we do. So keep doing what you are doing pray, pray, and pray some more.
I will be praying that he doesn't view his inability to attain financial freedom as a personal deficit. I am praying a hedge of protection around your husband, that Satan will not use this as an opening. The theif comes to still, kill and destroy. THere is GREAT power in the prayers of a wife. God bless you both!!
