Sometimes in the middle of a marriage people forget to just be kind .. as in Please and thank you .. My husband and I hit a really horrible rough spot we had decided the marriage was over but due to financial reason neither of us could physically leave So we moved to seperate bedrooms. ...

We talked and decided to just be kind to each other. The same treatment we give other people and not even notice .. Thank you and please to the waitress or bank teller, coworker etc..

While were were on opposite sides of our home .. I sat and thought when was the last time I told him thank you for anything.. I realized I hadn't for so long I could not even remember.

Well after a week or so we realize we had both just stopped treating each other with respect kindness and love ..

Things did slowly get better and our marriage was saved and it's stronger than ever.
