WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP

After 40+ years of marriage I can truly say Kent and I have very few times when everything isn’t meshing. We laugh at each others jokes. Our home is one where you can feel peace when you enter the door. We enjoy talking and never seem to run out of topics. We both love learning, travel and friends. BUT…every so often our children with get a call. "Help! Our marriage is in crisis." When we need to put something together all communication breaks down in our loving home. There is tension and frustration. Because we love each other so much we stop talking for fear of hurting each other. Last night was one or those nights. I purchased a bookshelf for the office. It really should have been easy to put together - but not for us. After a couple of hour we stopped and went in and watched a movie together, expressed love and forgiveness (I really needed that). Today we have parts all over the office. Tonight we will have our bookcase together. Thank goodness for loving children with a sense of humor.
