Don't underestimate the power of friendship. It is a very powerful thing. Deep down, she knows that you will always be there for her, no matter what. You've definitely proven that in recent weeks. J, she's just as confused as you are right now. You CAN get the passion back. There are so many ways of doing it, if you are both willing. And that's the real beauty of it. YOU ARE BOTH WILLING!!
Find a sitter, and you two go out and do something nutty. Something you haven't done since you were kids. Are there any drive-in movies around where you live? Or maybe even something as stupid as a water balloon fight. Something to show her that the fun Jethro is still in there, and those feelings she once had will come back. It's going to take time, and the patience thing is so hard. But you can do it!!

I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.
