Marriage: it isn't all roses and rainbows

[Wahine]

I just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about you. I don't feel like I have anything useful to add right now but I would just reiterate the importance of communication and the need to take care of yourself. The step you've taken towards couseling is a good one. ((((((Hugs))))))

Normal, yes. But, does this mean your marriage is doomed? NO!

Not sure if you believe in God, but my husband and I found the movie Fireproof to be very inspirational to our marriage (I think it's out on dvd now). I also bought the book from the movie, "The Love Dare." It includes 40 days of things to do to improve your marriage. I think you're supposed to do one thing per day, but some of them are quite challenging to me and I've gotten stuck on them for more like a week (like not complaining or being negative)! It's really helping our relationship though.

Anyway, just some ideas for you . . .

I'm glad you've decided to get some help for yourself. Depression stinks.
