Please pray for my wife who is letting herself go physically. Please help me find some sort of emotional connection with my wife as I do not find her attractive anymore. In fact, I don’t think I ever had a connection with her in the first place as I feel I was tricked into getting married for fear that being single for too long would be a mortal sin. I have suffered greatly — both physically and emotionally — as a result of marrying someone who does not care for healthy living the way I do, and thus I felt like I had to give up my healthy lifestyle to please her — and ultimately please God and those who thought I needed to be married as a form of earthly torture. I feel as though I have been living a lie for the past 20 years and I am sick of living this way.
