I think raising two young children full time while battling depression and wanting to have a fabulous marriage just happen is tough. It's tough to have energy to do an ounce more of anything to make it work. I know. I am thinking of you and want you to know that you're not alone in all of this. Take care of yourself, remember all people have faults and are also immensely lovable at the same time. Your husband chose you and you chose him, don't ever forget that you are his love. <br />Hope you're having a great start to a new week :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-32662709891515507612011-02-07T06:19:53.313-08:002011-02-07T06:19:53.313-08:00I was going to suggest The Five Love Languages, to...I was going to suggest The Five Love Languages, too!

Your car anol...Oh Cindy... my heart hurts for you. Your car anology is a great one. Fred and I go through rough patches all the time, and it"s mostly due to one or both of us not getting our needs met.<br /><br />Have you ever read the book, "The five love languages"? It expands on what your therapist was talking about. <br /><br />I also come from a broken home, although for me it happened when I was older (23). It doesn't hurt any less and it ripped my entire family apart. As Wendy said, IT SUCKS. <br /><br />Praying for you!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-45899346057893948212011-02-07T02:27:09.925-08:002011-02-07T02:27:09.925-08:00Hi Cindy,
I have missed you and sensed something ...Hi Cindy,<br /><br />I have missed you and sensed something was up due to your absence in the blogging world. I have been a little worried. I am glad you are OK, but sad that you are going through these feelings and frustrations and disappointments in you marriage right now.<br /><br />I don't really have any helpful tips. I know that Dave and I hit "rocky" roads here and there. There are times we are "abandoning our car" and then we go back and refuel. It is hard when there are times you feel the car was abandoned so far back on the road. It is tough to turn around and go back to it...to get to it...to get the fuel to refuel it.<br /><br />I too, like Wendy, come from a broken home. I think when that happened, when my parents divorced, is when I lost some of my innocence as a child. I took that "wholesome-y" family feeling for granted as a kid...when my parents separated I realized it. Hang in there friend. I heart you BIG TIME!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-39617546283478330362011-02-06T23:22:54.556-08:002011-02-06T23:22:54.556-08:00Oh, my friend.
It is crazy how different husbands...Oh, my friend.<br /><br />It is crazy how different husbands and wives are. One thing that helped us was going away for a weekend on a marriage retreat. It was actually before we had kids...when we first began noticing some communication issues. We looked at the time away as if it were an opportunity to skill-build for our careers or learn a new hobby. We entered into it with intentions to leave with new skills. Fortunately, we left the weekend feeling motivated to hang in there for the long haul...so far, so good, but I can't tell you how often I wish we could go back for a review. (ONE DAY!)<br /><br />I believe in marriage. Having witnessed the divorce of my parents...and feeling the turmoil of trying to raise a family of my own in it's wake. Their divorce has affected me more now, as a grown adult with children of my own, than it ever did as a kid. I wish so badly that my parents would have given our family more of an effort. Of course I can't talk to either of them about it. Because they're wrapped up in their own worlds...just like they were wrapped up in their own worlds when we were falling apart. I was always the one who had to hold it together...being strong...being tough...well, it FREAKING SUCKED THEN AND IT SUCKS NOW! <br /><br />Wow. That felt good. Thanks :)<br /><br />It is what it is. <br /><br />Anyway, here's a link to the marriage retreat we attended. I'm sorry it's all I have to offer, but please know I will keep you guys in my prayers....<br /><br />http://www.familylife.com/site/c.dnJHKLNnFoG/b.5846045/k.8C0A/Weekend_to_Remember__Marriage_Getaway.htm?fromeventhp=WTRlogoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-9274140196555968972011-02-06T21:18:46.164-08:002011-02-06T21:18:46.164-08:00I'm glad you have a place to vent. I'm no...I'm glad you have a place to vent. I'm not going to give you words of wisdom or try to tell you what you need to do.
