Corri,
Well I thought I was on the right track with my list but now I'm having my doubts. I'm having such a hard time dealing with what would make me happy because so much of my happiness relates to how things are going in my marriage. If things are not going well in marriage (like they are now) then nothing on my list is really going to change how I feel and create happiness. I know it needs to, but how do you make that change to get out of a rut?

I've read DB & SSM and re-read and re-read....... It's just not clicking as to how to make my mind feel happiness when there is problems in the marriage. When things are well in the marriage, there is no place I would rather be then just being with my wife. My 2 girls are the lone exception. They are the pride of my life and when I'm with them I can't help but feel happiness, but how do I direct that joy back into the marriage?

I just get so overwhelmed by the feelings created from the problems in our marriage that everything else gets buried. If I do find something enjoyable, the feeling is shortlived and I'm back to feeling the weight of our problems.

I don't know if I'm trying too many of the DB techniques or if I'm just missing their point altogether.

Corri, you said your bf was from Michigan and you travel to DEEEtroit often. Being a big U of M fan, please don't tell me your from Ohio ?
