And you are surprised? It will be a roller coaster for quite a while. You need to find strength within yourself.
Remember to tell yourself that you are a good person who deserves to be loved by a woman who cares about you and treats you well. Visualize what a good marriage means to you, then make it happen. Remember that you can only change yourself.
