My husband and I are going through a very difficult time, he is confused about what he wants and his head is unclear. We have been married for seven years and have two wonderful children, I know God's will is for our marriage to survive. I am praying like crazy for my husband but I feel like I need the power of numbers right now! Please pray for us and for my husband. Thank you so much. God bless.

Just a quick note to some of the people; we are working at it as hard as we can with counselling, etc. And bedtime issues are not a problem. It is the confusion in my husbands head and heart that make it an overwhelming issue that we feel we need to asks Gods help for. Thank you so much everyone for your prayers.

The best parts of this was to read that you and your husband are working on your marriage. Yes, there's going to be times when the heart and head aren't in sync. That's where the fight lays. But as you know...it's a fight worth fighting.
And I too want to thank you for asking for prayer. To the world living in darkness, they might not understand how important your request is. To the children of the King...we know. And trust me, there's going to be many a prayer taken to the King on your behalf.
Stay in prayer, and don't give up the struggle!

Ignore the negative comments...they do not understand. This is NOT a selfish shallow request either. You are doing the best thing by requesting prayer! Where two of us agree on earth as touching any thing that we ask, it shall be done for us. (Matt.18:19) And we are to ask according to God's will.
(Eph.5:17) There are certainly more than 2 of us praying...we know that it is God's will that marriages stay together. There are 2 people to make a choice in this marriage....but we can pray that God will speak to your husband and clear his mind. I would do everything else in your power also...Christian counseling may help. I would also like to recommend a book for you to read....Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. I will be praying for you.

May I ask why you're so certain that HE is the one who is confused and unclear and that HE is the one who is in the wrong and needs to change?
Maybe your God's will is for your marriage to survive, but for YOU to learn a different way of thinking from this experience? Maybe your current issues are an opportunity for you to learn, not just to pray to fix them to your liking.
Note - this is coming form my own point of view where the idea of "praying for someone to change" is unethical, because it messes with that person's free will.
I will offer my hopes that your marriage survives and that you and your husband are both able to learn what is needed to make your marriage stronger and to fulfill you both as individuals, as a couple, and as a family.

From what you've told in your vague paragraph, prayers will not help, instead I suggest seeking out someone who can help you both out physically, emotionally, and spiritually rather than just through prayer. Perhaps a marriage counselor or some other sort of counseling? There is no shame in seeking help, since sometimes prayer just isn't enough.
It's also against my beliefs to pray for anyone who did not give me personal permission to do so; so I cannot pray for your husband without his consent.

I am sorry for your dilema but this is not a question and you are violating the rules of this site.
To help you out though, My wife and I went through similar problems and overcame them by talking openly and honestly to each other. It was very difficult but worth while and we are more secure in our marriage than ever. We now understand each other completely.
If, however, your husband is unsure of what he wants, you have to wait for him to make his mind up (if you can wait that long).
In the end, no amount of praying can force the outcome because a free willed man (God allows free will), will make up his own mind regardless of belief in God.
This is a human problem, not one that can be delegated to God.

I will indeed pray for your family.
May I also suggest that you involve your pastor? Not only would his/her prayer support be helpful, but they might be able to visit with your husband and help him work through the confusion.
God's blessing, sister.

Will do. Ask the The Blessed Virgin Mary and the Saints in heaven to pray for you and your family. They will bring all your prayers to Christ. God bless you and your family.

I do not mind praying for the two of you.
However, as I read the question/comments, something blantant stood out to me. Why is he confused about what hw wants? (One of the tests for Christians is the Bible (not the scriptures) wrongly divides the word of God (contrary to 2 Tim. 2:15)). Could his confusion be part of that? Please email me soon!!!
