I have been married to the same man for over 30 years. I still get excited when I get to spend the day with him. I think we found the secret to a long, happy relationship. But....
Several years ago he was depressed and so was I. We were just bringing each other down and life was miserable. I was seriously thinking about leaving when a friend gave me a copy of the book that was a compilation of the "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" articles from "Ladies Home Journal." I read the entire book in one night. What I learned is that in almost every case where a marriage was threatened, both parties were wrong. I took that message very much to heart, worked on my own issues and found my husbands were not that awful. Since we are still together I guess it worked.
