Unhappy Husband

My husband and I first met in 1995 got married in 1997. We have one son together(now 6 yrs old) and I had two sons from my first marriage(now 15 & 21 yrs old). He and I had previous marriage that ended unpleasant. We have had our ups and downs in our marriage as well, but was able to work through it. He is a loving husband, hard worker, and a good father. But I think it has taken a toll on him. I am nine years older than he and I know that the age difference plays a role. I feel that he started off so young in his first marriage and now married to me he never had a chance really to experience life living alone and on his own. Just to see what life would be like as a single man (he has confirm my thoughts). He had to take on the responsibility of raising my boys and his own. That was hard for him being that he never had kids to raise before. Needless to say, my oldest boy put us through a lot and our marriage was fallen apart because of the conflict between them. But we made it through that. Having his own child now he knows what unconditional love feels like. My husband's birthay is this week he will be 31 yrs old. He is in a job that he can not stand and the family life is very stressful for him now. I believe he is depressed. He told me for the last few months he have been feeling like something is missing in his life and he isn't happy, he is feeling like he don't want to be married anymore. He never had a chance to live on his own and are having thoughts about being single again. He don't want to hurt me or the kids but this is how he feel and he can't shake that feeling. He said he still love me and is willing to go to counseling and if he could change the way he feel he would. He don't want to leave us, but he is tired of being unhappy. Every since then we hardly talk and he has been so distant from us. I feel if though he has made up his mind and in just a matter of time he might leave us. He told me he need a friend right now not a wife. I am trying so hard to give him what he has asked, but I am married to him and it is hard to be just a friend and not a wife. It feels like we are slowly moving apart. I need all of you to please pray for us. I ask that you pray for us to work though this and keep our family together. Our insurance don't cover marriage counseling, so I need your prays to open up some doors to get an affordable counselor. Dear Lord Jesus, I ask you in your name that you hear my prays and the prays of all others that is praying for my marriage to work. I pray that my husband find a job that will make him feel more comfortable and not depressed. I ask you dear Lord that you give him the knowledge to know how important it is for us to work through our problems and stay together. Dear Lord I don't want our family to fall apart. Please dear Lord bless us, guide us, give us strength to fight the enemy, and keep us strong in our faith and unite us as a family again. Take the thought of divorce out of my husband's mine dear Lord. Keep out the temptation so that our marriage can survive this attack, please direct him back into his family path and dear Lord I ask that you guide him back in your path. To keep his faith and to keep on praying for your help. I ask all of this in your name Jesus. Thank you dear Lord. Amen.

Dear Father, I stand in agreement with FCannon for her marriage. Jesus, strengthen this marriage. Bring them joy and love in eachother and in you Father. Enlarge the husband's heart for his wife and family. Let him not long for the things of this world anymore. Let your will be done in their lives, in your name and to your glory, amen.

How about talking to your pastor for counseling? That shouldn't cost anything.
