I think I've put this out here before, but I really believe in prayer. I've been married since 1983, but my wife has been living away from me since April 2016. I struggle with alcohol. Another issue is libido. She's insatiable. (Oh just kidding, that only happen s in fiction) Somehow we managed to raise 3 amazing children. Actually it's not a mystery, it's because my wife put child rearing ahead of her spouse. I'm torn because I've seen 30 year couples that act like newlyweds, but their kids are all messed up. There's a happy in between. I think God understood that your children would eventually leave the nest and the bond needed to be strong between a husband and a wife to support their relationship together for the next 30 yrs. Now, I'm not even competing with some great kids and two of their spouses, but I have a 10 Mo. old grandson that's cuter than *^&*. So if you find it in your heart, please pray for my sobriety and for God to soften my wife's heart. This is kinda like a pitiful DU post. I'm sorry. There's no GoFundMe page to go to.
