Hello Matilda... Yes this piecing stuff really is a whole new ball game but at least it is positive stuff and no more of the negative stuff like before.
I am actually reading a book about forgivness for various reasons and so far it is helpful.
It is called "How can I forgive you?" by Janis Abrahms Spring.
I am also reading "The proper caring and feeding of Husbands" by Dr. Laura.
I actually asked my H about some of the things in the book as I was curious as to his opinion, and we had a nice chat about it.
Sad thing was I bought this book several years ago and didn't take it too seriously then. I wish I had put as much effort into our marriage when things were good rather then waiting until they hit rock bottom.
I guess as long as we learn from our mistakes and stop making the same ones we are doing OK.
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
