[quote=Anonymous]DH and I went to couples therapy a few times early on because we loved each other like crazy but couldn’t argue without things getting ugly. We learned to disagree agreeably. It took five years, but I am so thankful because have been through awful, stressful times (one child has had serious mood disorder) where we didn’t always agree on things, but we have been able to work it out and feel like we are in it all together.

For me, taking time for my marriage is equivalent to taking time for my kids - they will be hugely impacted by a divorce or a bad relationship. That doesn’t necessarily mean date nights (I don’t think we have had one for over a year), but it does mean making time daily for DH and I to talk and connect. It means that when I snap at him because I’m frustrated with the kids, I apologize and sincerely try to not do it. It means making time for sex even when I’m tired. It also means that sometimes I put him first - make sure he gets time to do his hobby even if I’m stuck alone with the kids on a Saturday afternoon (he does the same for me).
