Mike Fisher Shares a Meaningful Verse During a Tough Time

Mike turned to Instagram to share a verse that he described as "one of [his] new favorite verses." He explained that he needed this reminder every day. The verse reads, "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." His followers were quick to respond, praising his choice of words and sharing that they, too, have leaned on this verse during challenging periods in their lives.

What’s Causing the Strain in Carrie and Mike’s Marriage?

As In Touch has previously reported, the country music star, 34, has reportedly hit her breaking point with Mike, the father of her child (the couple shares a two-year-old son, Isaiah Fisher). A source close to the couple explained that Carrie has been longing for more quality time with Mike. "Carrie has wanted more quality time with Mike. They’ve only been on a couple of vacations together in the seven years they’ve been married," the source revealed. The source also mentioned that Mike's decision to return to professional hockey after retiring had a negative impact on their marriage. "She really thought that Mike’s retirement was going to give them the time they needed to work on making their family stronger," the source said. "His decision put a huge strain on their marriage. If Carrie and Mike continue to grow apart, it will surely end in divorce for them. And that would be heartbreaking."

Carrie’s Desires Adding to the Tension

It’s not just the time apart that’s causing issues; Carrie’s desire to expand their family is also adding to the tension. "Carrie’s been desperate to have a little brother or sister for Isaiah. But she’s been struggling to get pregnant," the source shared. Carrie was hoping that Mike would be more involved in the process of possible IVF treatments if they became necessary. "Mike isn’t always cognizant of Carrie’s feelings and needs," the source added. This lack of awareness has reportedly left Carrie feeling unsupported during a time when she needs him the most.

"She was hoping Mike would become more involved in the process of possible IVF treatments, if it came to that... Mike isn’t always cognizant of Carrie’s feelings and needs." This lack of involvement and understanding is clearly taking a toll on their relationship, leaving fans to wonder if the couple can overcome these challenges or if they're heading toward a permanent split.
