Long before any decision is made to “fool around” or walk out on a partner, a fundamental change has begun to occur in the relationship. Many books on this subject lay the blame on the failure to communicate, but I disagree. The inability to talk to one another is a symptom of a deeper problem, but it is not the cause itself. The critical element is the way a husband or wife begins to devalue the other and their lives together. It is a subtle thing at first, often occurring without either partner being aware of the slippage. But as time passes, one individual begins to feel trapped in a relationship with someone he or she no longer respects.
This, I think, is the key, and why Michelle and others always say we must act, and look our best to our spouse unb crisis. Dr. Dobson's approach is very similar to the 'last resort' as described by Michelle in her book.
Prayers for everyone.
