[quote=Anonymous]That sounds like a very frustrating situation for you to be in. Approaching your spouse the right way is probably going to be one of the keys to communicating your concerns effectively. Consider approaching her at the right time and in the right manner; when she is not distracted or too stressed or tired. Try not to be confrontational, have an angry tone of voice or condescending. You could even consider writing a letter if this topic is so hot-button with your wife that she is bound to blow up and become defensive. If I were you, I wouldn't say, "You need counseling." Recognize and admit that "we" have a problem, and it must be addressed as a team. Consider encouraging your wife to join you in getting help for your marriage by saying something like, "I love you with all my heart, but I am tired and need your help and support on this. If you won't go to therapy for yourself, would you go with me?" I believe these non-threatening approaches take some of the pressure and blame off your spouse and will hopefully open doors to the possibility of getting help instead of closing doors by using negative approaches.

Hang in there. Praying for your family.[/quote]
