There was no major problems, ie. Violence, Cheating, etc. Just a lot of smaller issues. I believe I was wrong and understand that now. I was hoping to pray to a specific Saint for our reconciliation. And maybe you could pray for us too? Any help would be great. thanks

Do your part toward restitution for whatever you did. If you have the opportunity, tell her honestly and sincerely what is in your heart. Then give her the time and space to decide. To pray to change another person's consciousness or to affect the outcome is stepping on that person's free will and is wrong. God knows better what we need than we do.
Here's a better prayer: An Invitation to Sing HU
You are invited to try this simple spiritual exercise. It has helped people of many different faiths open their hearts more fully to the uplifting presence of God.
To do the exercise, first get comfortable. Close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. Next, gently put your attention on your inner visual screen, where daydreams and images come to you.
With your eyes closed, sing HU (pronounced like the word hue) as a song of love. There are many ways to experience the love of God. You may notice a feeling of peace, warmth, and comfort. You may also recognize the presence of the Divine through greater spiritual insights into your daily life.
When you sing HU and sit in quiet contemplation, you might also perceive the inner Light and Sound. The Light may appear as brightness or colors on your inner visual screen. The Sound may be musical or the sounds of nature, such as the wind or the ocean. However you experience the presence of God, it is bringing you a broader understanding of the life you lead.

I think you are coping out by praying to any saint to solve your problems. certainly there is nothing wrong with prayer, but God gave you, and each one of us a huge amount of intelligence to work with. Take the time alone to do some serious soul searching, cast pride aside and do what you have to to get your life where you want it. If you truly love her, then you may have to do some personality upgrades, there is absolutely no shame in that, it's called growing. Above all else, be true to yourself, everything else will fall where it is supposed to be.

I don't mean no disrespect but all the praying in the world will not bring back you wife.You better hope she didn't fall out of love with you because we women give you men chance after chance to prove you love us but when we have had enough we leave and 9 out of 10 don't come back. Sorry

Hello,
You really do not have to pray to a Saint. Instead pray directly to God in Jesus name. After all Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. And pray with your heart and soul, like you are just talking to Him with sincerity. Praying is a powerful thing.
God bless you,
Row

Don't pray to a saint. Jesus said the only way to the Father was through Him. Pray to Jesus. He will hear your prayer.
I will pray for you both.
Good luck and God Bless.

God is the one you want to pray to, not a saint. Check out this website for encouragement and teaching on how to pray for your spouse and your marriage.

Write her a note, see the priest together. (If you don't have a priest that you see together, you need religious counseling as well as marital because only Catholics "pray" to saints--well, maybe Orthodox, too)
Just don't pray to St. Jude.

Try praying to God,,Saints are just men that were on this earth, they can't do anything for you. Then apologize to your wife and do everything you can to show her how much you love her and want to workon your marriage.

Why don't you just apologize and spend the next few months making it up to her. Good luck and I'll pray for you too!
