GOING DOWN HILL

My story is so long...I will try and get the main issue. There is so much going on in our lives right now. We are both extremely depressed due to problems in our marriage as well as external factors from our families health and problems. We are not able to help each other. We can't talk without it becoming a major fight. I have a major anger issue. We are both in counseling. Don't even know what I am looking for here just looking for an outlet to get some of this out.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading.

Do you have any children. They will need parents who show love to each other.
Seek God's help through prayer. Go to him and tell him all. Tell him how you feel, and ask him to remove the angry spirit. Read the bible. Read Psalm 51 the psalm in which David asked forgiveness. Talk to your wife not in an angry mood, but lovingly. God cares for both of you. The devil will seek to cause strife.
The members here will remember you in their prayers. Don't feel alone. We all have our problems so we are familiar with what you are going through. It may not be the identical thing, but we all have had our trials.

Keep strong and keep praying. May God strenghthen you during this time.
 
Hey! Its the beginning of something new! Use this for a self awareness and start checking your mistakes instead of hers. She has to do the same. I'm saying this because rock bottom for me was seeing who I really was and didn't like it. You said a lot in those few words. Start with the man in the mirror. Someone has to get off the merry-go-round and stop the spining before you get so dizzy you have no clue as where you're doing. Gods waiting for you to come to Him. Not vice-versa.
 
Thanks Ed for the advice. Things have gotten some better to the point that we can cohabitate. I have been looking on the mirror lately. It's funny you used this example as I read in James this week about being a doer and not just a hearer. And forgetting what one looks like after leaving the mirror. Self examination is painful and hard. It is so much easier to point out other's faults. Thanks Again.

To build on what eduardo said, first focus on what you know, and possibly don't know, about yourself that needs fixing. Start with pride. Upon prayerfull reflection you will find there are a great many things stem from sinful pride. That is the root of so much. Once you have started dealing with that you will find things are much easier to deal with.

Yes, anger has its root in pride. You have to realize that anger comes from a false sense of entitlement, meaning that you feel you deserve to be treated a certain way, but this all just a lie. Start from what you truly deserve, then move to what God has done for you through sending His Son to die for your sins.
