Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours..~Ayn Rand |

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. |
