[ Original Post ]

It appears my wife is not in love with me any more. She has stop being happy; she is always moody and tired. I thought it was depression and I was trying to be helpful and understanding, but she brushes me off and makes it impossible to have a pleasant atmosphere. I am now starting to feel the strain too, there is no more btwn us.
Problem is I would like to keep my family; I hate the idea of a divorce; we have a daughter of 9 and I hate to see her grow without a stable family. What does one do? ↓

Maybe there is more to it than you know. Please start by having a date night with her. Don't take her to a movie for the first week or two take her to a nice restraunt or a picnic where you two can talk. I don't know if you live close to a park or it is country but get her out hiking, fishing, anything where you are forced to be together where you can communicate with out kids being around. Maybe the stress of motherhood is alot on her....you could also give her a couple hours a week to be by her self. Let her know that you will do anything to make your marriage and family work. Write her notes and hide them in her purse, drawer at home, makeup bag....just anything to remind her why and what you love about her. Let me know how it works ↑

ttony sorry but temper is the worst thing u can have. You will push her away fast. I divorced a guy because of his temper maybe you can also seek help from your preacher if you go to church, and if not, maybe you and your family can find a church to attend. That would help also ↑
