I think Dr. H is dead on in his post. I have seen this in my sitch, also. As long as I stay away from difficult subjects, DH is like a different person. And I do not have the added complication of my DH being in the middle of a war zone--just drifting on the outskirts of one. We have not discussed our R once while he has been gone. DH has tried to steer it that way, but I steer it back to the kids. I had a rough day yesterday, too, but it seemed like every bible study I turned on dealt with the covenant vows of marriage. IF that was not motivation enough to keep my chin up, I don't know what else would be.
How is the fast going? Mine was not so good, but I recommitted to it this morning. I read something in Isaiah this morning that I wanted to share with you. Take a few minutes to read Isaiah 58. All of it is pertinent for us, but especially verses 6-12.
I will be praying for you two, as well.
