I wrote previously about what to do for your friend in a bad marriage. Here’s an article for when it’s you in the hard marriage. This article is just one aspect but hopefully encouraging. When your husband has given up.
Recently, I shared that it’s been 1 year since Lee moved home. Lee said, “Only 1 year?” James said, “That’s all?” We feel a little like we’re in a time warp around here. It feels longer than a year to me too. Things are way better right now. Lee’s job is providing enough for us [...]
Lee was home for almost a week. I like it when he’s home and hate it when he leaves. We talked about finding a trucking job where he can be home more but he said for now this is fine. It’s helping us get our finances back together and is actually a nice job. He [...]
Last summer, my father in law brought over some cuttings from his tea rose bushes. I planted them in the front of the house. I tenderly cared for them all summer. The heat proved to be too much for two of the plants. The middle plant did really well though. I’d water it and pull [...]
I posted this on Facebook the other day–this is my wedding ring and it’s too big for my ring finer. I wear it on my 3rd finger now but it’s starting to get too big for that. I talked to my jeweler and she said not to get it resized til I’m [...]

I want….. to get the house/finances organized. I have….. too much stuff! I wish….. Lee could make money by always staying [...]
I was thinking today that for all the writing and praying I’ve done about my marriage, I’m definitely not the expert. Please don’t think I am! Lately, I pretty much feel like the failure on that topic–if I’m going to be honest with you. I think that no matter how honest I was with myself, [...]

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had some reminders that we have not lived together for a long time! I found a grill for Lee that I wanted to get for Father’s Day. I distinctly said to James, “Dad doesn’t care what type of grill.” So, we decided on a gas grill. Lee adamantly let [...]
