WE ARE HAVING SOME PRETTY SERIOUS ISSUES GOING ON RIGHT NOW. I'M AFRAID THAT WE'LL END UP APART BECAUSE OF LIFE STRESSES. I'M SO STRESSED OUT THAT I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE, AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT GOOD. IF I COULD GET THE NAME OF A GOOD COUNSELOR, THERAPIST, OR EVEN A PASTOR, I WILL APPRECIATE IT.

What can I do next?

Dear F.,

I pray that your marriage will come through this healed and stronger than ever. I can recommend something that has blessed me greatly - "Created to be his help meet" by Debi Pearl. It really put things into perspective for me and our marriage is so much better. I've also heard from friends that their marriage was revolutionized when she prayed daily for her husband using "The Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartian. There's a lot that you and your husband can do to heal your marriage, but God has the ultimate power!

Blessings,
R.

Supporting you as you nurture your family.

F., what you are going through I also went through it. What I had to do is pray, make sure the daycare didn't allow my baby to sleep all day, make or steal time for yourself and exercise so you get your engergy back, peacefully communicate your needs to your spouse and listen to his need. Most men only need more sex to make them behalf. Next, you need to make sure you have a life, both of you read GOD's word so both of you will know what GOD expects from a husband and wife. Most people marry without know their roles. Without GODLY wisdom your marriage will not work.

Since GOD is the originator of marriage you should only consider a GOD fearing pastor. You can't omit GOD. In order to make your marriage work both of you must respect and obey HIS word about marriage.

Make time for each other by putting the kids to bed at 8:30pm or 9pm, go on dates, be kind and speak kindly to each other for you kids are watching and listening.

I hope this helps.

There are two names that I know of : Lee Winderman ( around 610 and belair) and Glenn Cambor ( Montrose).
I hope you do not mind me telling you that life stresses are a huge test on couples but I think that you need to take care of yourself and try to take it easy and be strong because going through separation and divorce is just worse than anything else, especially if you have a child. Women go through emotional turmoils but are sturdier than men. Men will say nothing for a while and then all of a sudden disconnect and go to never look back again. I think YOU need to be the one making the efforts unfortunately... believe me, I know! I have been on that same boat but it is too late for me..

If this is your first marriage, then the stresses are natural. You're merging two lives together and then brought in a third. Nothing will be perfect. Shoot, even if it's not your first, you'd still have other issues to deal with. You weren't specific in your message, but that may be because you want to seek counsel. If you have the time and money, I know of one here in Katy. Her name is Mary Franz. Her website is www.maryefranz.com . You may want to consider individual counseling first and then marriage therapy. If you'd rather try something on your own, get Dr. Phil's Relationship Rescue.
Earn your way out of the marriage. Don't just walk away without traveling down every avenue. Unless, that is, he's physically abusive. That's a whole other topic.
Good luck.

I am going through a similar situation and have a 3 month old son. We have been together for 8 years but only married since January. I have been having alot of issues and was referred to a Dr. Brendan O'Rourke. She has a website allabouthope.com. I have my first appt with her today, but I have heard good things about her from 2 seperate doctors. I hope things work out. Trust me I understand the stress and anxiety. Good luck.
