[quote=Anonymous]I'm reading the Gottman marriage book (7 principles). Depressing start but I am hoping the "how to" repair the marriage will be helpful when I get to that chapter. He talks about friendship being at the center of a healthy marriage (not "good communication" or shared interests necessarily, as if often thought) and I believe he will talk about ways to get the friendship back for couples who lost it. Oddly, I have regained some affection and friendship in my marriage through an extended absence of my DH for work. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and we have both been able to break a negative cycle from layers of mutual resentments. I am putting more effort into being affectionate and appreciative long distance and beginning to feel more hopeful. But also nervous about DH's return as it approaches. I think we get along better apart. And I think I feel less lonely when I'm alone (with DC). [/quote]
