Q: Please pray for my marriage. I'm growing weary.

I feel that it was completely my free will. I know He’s sovereign, but I never really prayed for my husband, I just rushed into a marriage to get out on my own and be “grown up”. My husband is very difficult to communicate with, angers easily, impulsive, oppositional, hates to be told anything to do, yet needs so m...
