[quote=Anonymous]Please don't let anyone ever try to convince you that marriage is easy - it is definitely convenient for those who have a different measuring stick as to what is important for family life and children. Divorce may be an escape for some, but it will always be a trap for children, one they may never be able to crawl out of. The impact of division from the ones who were supposed to be their strength can leave devastating, and sometimes, a life time of doubt and brokenness.

I think many couple reach that time in life where the repetition and routine of life take the place of finding goals and pursuing them. Reaching out for change involves risks, and planning ahead. It mans engaging in a strategy that takes you from point A to point B. It doesn't always come easy, but rather requires discipline and hard work. It's just a matter of where the couple's priorities lie.

Is your husband aware of your thought life in this area of your marriage? Has he seen how the distance has made you feel? Does he feel the same way? He may have observed it, but feels clueless on how to step in and initiate meaningful conversation. Many husbands are not good initiators when it comes to "feelings" and "heart issues" because it requires them to be transparent and vulnerable. a side of them they normally like to keep covered and protected from outside opinions and judgments. But it doesn't have to be that way, once a couple has decided which goals they'd like to achieve together.

I want to pass along some reading material you may find helpful. God is in the business of keeping marriages together and cares about both of you, no matter where you are at in life, or what you may be feeling. He loves you right now and wants to be a part of restoring hope back into your relationship. It can be done.

Well, these are just some thoughts I had. I know every situation is different, and you know your husband way better than any of us here. But the one thing I did want to emphasize is the fact that God loves you and has plans for your marriage and your children. I am proof that His power does change hearts. My hope and prayer for you is that you both will come to the realization that God is bigger than your problems and He truly wants to take care of you.[/quote]
