Our Marriage Mending After Difficult Year

Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you back in September asking you to carry a prayer for my husband and me. We had been struggling for over a year, barely speaking, just living under the same roof. I asked you to carry my prayer for healing and for God to soften both our hearts. After I received the photograph of the card held in St. Peter's, I felt a quiet peace I hadn't known in a long time. I didn't say anything to him about it. But slowly, things began to change. A few weeks later, he suggested we go out to dinner, just the two of us. We talked. Really talked. It was awkward at first, but it was a start. Now, we are seeing a counselor together. There is still work to do, but the cold silence is gone. We are learning to listen again. I believe your carrying of that prayer was part of opening a door we had both locked. Thank you for your gentle service.
