  The one truth that wears couples down, is keeping score. How many times must the same issue be addressed. Especially in long term marriages. Forgiving doesn't always mean forgetting. When you are under fire or in the fire, mentally, day after day and boundaries are not respected, you wonder if the treaty is broken & if you are broken. No one wants a full on war. Negotiations aren't always successful. But I am devouring this information on the battlefield right now. I am weary. Agreeing in prayer for Holy Spirit to lead me into truth.

  I believe growth is the goal. But, my husband hasn't grown in 36 years of marriage. He still doesn't take responsibility for his own actions. It's always someone else's fault. He lies and uses people and thinks it's okay because he doesn't "mean" to.

  I'm a marriage officer and of course have seen many unity candle ceremonies but wowwww I have never thought of it like that before and I must agree that he is totally right. The big mistake is that we often think that becoming one means to loose your individuality, but as I often say that if bother are exactly the same then one becomes redundant.

  My husband and I have just signed up for hope restored. We are so broken! With everything we’ve gone through and other couple not walking in Christ would have been done a dozen times over. Looking for a miracle!! 😢

  I haven't seen the end to this yet , however, I have seen it from both sides of the coin and forgiveness is after the fact. However, to avoid having to be in a position of forgiving is to affirm and respect each other by showing appreciation for everything we each do! Appreciation is the glue of Love! With 'appreciation' having to forgive is seldom needed. If you are not grateful for the small everyday things, you will miss big ones, and no one wants to be with someone who doesn't notice their efforts to show them 'love'! A man's job is to provide and protect. If he is not doing that, you'll have to stop getting in the way of him doing just that, it makes them lazy, spoiled and ungrateful. Let him be The Man, so you can be The Lady! A man will love you for it!  We all know 'you can do it', but he needs to know you need him or he will be easily led to find someone who does need, and admire his 'maleness'! I am grateful I have finally learned this precious lesson. 💌

  My marriage is struggling. The spouse doesnt want to try and get a better job to better our situation (I'm working 2 pt jobs and homeschooling). The long hours we both work and the prioritization of my spouses work above our family has left me cold and bitter in our relationship.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c5XgaO2A9g&amp;t=900">15:00</a> That vacation suggestion works. My wife and I did that on a cruise a few years back. Did an excursion on one day and then just relaxed the next day. That way you aren&apos;t exhausted when the trip is over but you&apos;ve still had some fun experiences together.
