You've noticed it happening, things are not as they used to be. You and your husband (or wife) are not as close as you used to be. There used to be this burning desire you had for each other, but somehow you've drifted apart. You still love him (or her) but things just aren't the same. What do you do now? 1st of all watch this video A up here 2nd read the following: regardless of what you may think, never EVER is your marriage un-fixable. It may be broken right now but it can always be restored. Never under estimate the power of the bond that marriage brings. Relationships will always be man and woman and with that there are always differences. You're never going to see things in the exact same way. The most important thing is to keep God in the very center of every thing. Always remember, never give up. That's what saying I do means, it means you will never give up on each other through better and even through worse. Just because you "love this person be

Our scars and pain are exactly how God planned it to be. When we are hurting we look to the Father for His help and guidance and sometimes we may turn away from Him but He knows just how to get us back.

Can't you do it yourself?" What is our response? "Because I asked you to" or we guilt trip them by getting upset or angry.

In one episode of Little House On The Prarie, they showed Almanzo, Laura Ingalls Wilder's husband, in a wheel chair and paralyzed. He was sitting with Charles Ingalls at his storm demolished house, when they both noticed a little green living plant. With shocked faces, Almanzo quotes that the plants he was trying to care for wouldn't grow and it was because he was tending to them too much. He had realized the reason he was also not recovering was because he hadn't a reason to since he had Laura and his sister Eliza Jane looking after him. Many times in life this is us, especially with children. You know, the typical "did you do your school yet? Have your chores been done?" Too often we pester our children with "reminders" and don't get me wrong, they do need reminding sometimes but that's the thing...only sometimes. Many times our kids will procrastinate or simply not do something because we are asking too many times about it. I am saying this fr
