Dear Prayer Warriors
I am in my first year of marriage to a man I lovely dearly, and who loves me too. I truly believe that God brought us together, and yet I really wasn't prepared for how difficult marriage can be. We row so much and sometimes I feel that I just can't take it despite the love. We were both single for a long time before marriage and, being Christians, have never lived with a partner before, so neither of us is used to the compromise marriage requires.
Recently we went abroad for a few days with his father. I thought we had a great time but this morning after a row he told me that my behaviour over the trip had appeared huffy and bad tempered. I absolutely can be both those things at times..I know, but I didn't understand the accusation this time and I just feel like I can't do anything right, and am such a rubbish Christian wife.
I moved out of the city that had been my home for many years to his house in the countryside. The house is great and he tries to make me feel it is my home. I feel so ungrateful for missing this city and my lifestyle there. I should be thankful for everything I have, and yet sometimes I resent it. Please pray that God will work in my heart to change it. I desperately want to live for Him in a way that is pleasing...and that isn't the case for much of the time.
Please pray for me brothers and sisters. I'm know that many of you are struggling with terribly painful issues, and debilitating disease, and I'm sorry if my request seems pathetic or petty, but I would so appreciate your prayer intervention for the sake of my marriage and my own spiritual walk.
