They say, “Marriage was made in heaven” yet it is clear to me that our participation and maintenance of a strong relationship is dependent on each individual in the relationship.  Looking at that concept in that way makes my portion in that job stand out in a glaring way.  How many times have I messed up in my dealings with my wife?  The answer is way TOO many.  Yes, it’s a two way street, I know, but if it really requires consistent and strong work to keep things healthy then I’ve fallen off on that job and have not always been a godly example.  The little frustrations, teamwork in raising children, and working toward strengthening our relationship has not been given the necessary time for that to be successful.  I have changed some things but there is still a long way to go.  We both need to work together to get back on track with things and devote the time and energy that is needed like we have been recently.  That’s all for now.
