"I just found you on the web, and enjoyed you answers to others concerns. I am married for 25 years and in that time I have made many mistakes. This is hard for me, being I am old school and do not speak to anyone. My wife had been addicted to pain killers for better then 10 years. If you have ever watched the show, INTERVENTION, if you take all the shows and put them together, that has been mine and my children's life. My question is ,that my wife has started leaning to the drugs once again (somewhat clean for 2 years). I don't want to EVER go through that hell with my children again. My knees are worn out over the years from praying. I can't do it, but as I said before, I'm Old school and take my vows serious. I have gotten sick in many ways over the years taking care of my wife and 4 children. I AM tired" -- G

"Get to having a heart to heart talk with your wife and find out what her real pain is. Where is the hurt coming from? Is it from sexual abuse from when she was young, rejection, etc... Find out what has caused the real pain and then you can target the true source of the problem and come against that demon spirit when you pray. You also need to get in a support group, no man is an island. The Bible says iron sharpens iron and so does one man sharpen another. Close all doors that may be open for the Devil to enter in your family. No good thing will the Lord withhold from those who walk upright before Him. Also renounce and break all generational curses in your family. You are the head of the family. As the head leads, the body will have no choice but to follow. I commend you for being a man of God who is standing for his family. When you find the source of your wife's pain, your prayers will be more effective. Matthew 8:16-17 says, When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “ He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses." - Savi
