The best thing I did for my relationship with my husband was make myself happy. I gave up trying to do what I thought I should do and began doing what I loved. He saw that I was happy and made changes in his own life that made him happier. We’ve always had a good relationship but now it’s even better. It was scary at times and we had quite a few heart to heart conversations but the end results made it all worth while.

I thought my marriage was all over. But, I guess if it’s not meant to be over, if you both still love each other, there will be ways to make it work. For me, I started to lower my expectations. I was so involved with high end society, and expected too much from my husband.
So, I did that, and focus on just him. Accepted how he is, and I express my love and affection more to him.
I read,“You just have to give and don’t expect to get anything back.” This is giving 100% of yourself, and the more you give, the more you will receive.

Also, what work for us is the vacation, to spend time with just each other.
I guess, what I am trying to say is, if you love him, make it work. It is such a good feeling to be in love again, with the man you married. It makes a lot of difference now, with my job, my kids, just everything seem easier and nicer.
