		<description>I salute you for a very realistic post.  I can say how hard you tried to put these thoughts all together and it moved me, actually there are many of us who were moved by it.  I have to say I am happily married for a little more than 2 years and it frightens me to read articles like this but I do because I want to be watchful of my acts in our relationship.  I want to do what is right and have to set limits for myself.  I love my husband and I love our marriage - working it out is really important to me.

		<description>I really appreciate you writing  this informative article.  I agree with throwing away the score card.  It is important to forgive and go on to strengthen the relationship.

		<description>i cannot tell you how much i like this post.  the hardest time i&#039;ve experienced with my husband was when we were dating and he was embarking on a new adventure that had nothing to do with me.  

even then i knew i was jealous, and wish i had handled the whole thing differently, but you live and learn and i&#039;m determined not to make the same mistake again.

		<description>A beautiful post.  Also remember that we don&#039;t marry mind readers.   If you need something (like a hug because you&#039;re feeling down) then ASK.  Your spouse will usually be more than happy to accommodate, and feel great that they could fulfill a need.  Don&#039;t make them guess, it just isn&#039;t fair!

		<description>Two weeks before my husband and I were married, my little sister was in a horrible car accident. She died after a week on life support. That Saturday we had a funeral. The next week we got married on a Friday. Was it hard? OF COURSE. She was my best friend. My only sister in a house of 5 brothers. But it sealed my husband and I together in a way that other couples are not. If you respond appropriately to struggle and hard things, they can bring you closer instead of further away. 
(And we&#039;ve been in higher education 7 out of the 9 years of marriage. Is he learning lots (oh YEA! he&#039;s now a medical resident) But i&#039;ve found ways to learn and grow and we&#039;ve always put each other first (right after God) and we&#039;ve got a very good marriage!  
Great points you made!!

		<description>I think couples, especially couples with young children, need to find ways to connect and create intimacy at home.  Finances don&#039;t always allow for babysitters or for dates away from home.
We like to go for a night swim together, share a glass of wine, or cook together.
One thing I know for sure:  watching TV together does NOT create intimacy!

		<description>So true!  

I had to say, though, that I got a little bit of a laugh about the graduate school tidbit.  My husband is in a doctorate program, and we&#039;ve talked about the fact that the divorce rates are high for doctorate students... BUT, I know for a fact, at least for us, it isn&#039;t about one person growing and the other not... it&#039;s about the stress and time involved.  Of course, he also works 12 hour days in school administration (who also have higher divorce rates) and we have a two year old who doesn&#039;t sleep.  Ever.  

I know it&#039;s morbid, but we joke that we have the &quot;perfect storm&quot; to put us on the track to divorce.  

All kidding aside, stressors of any kind can be really hard on a marriage, and sometimes just saying to each other, out loud, &quot;These things are causing stress in our marriage.  We better watch it.&quot; can go a long way to lighten the mood and push both of us to finding ways to reconnect.
