Maybe this will help someone who is considering divorce?

I was recently married in April and from the moment we said "I do" It has been an uphill battle. Just this weekend, I took off to my Moms for a few days just to clear my head.

Yesterday, my Mom and I went to a friend of her's house and she had this poem printed and framed on her wall.

Now, I'm no expert in love nor am I any sort of philanthropist trying to save the world, but I read the entire poem from start to finish and it just made sooo much sense to me and I've decided that this would be my approach in my marriage.

We spend so much time blaming the other person for the harm that they've caused us, that sometimes we forget to uphold our own responsibility in our relationships.

Well tonight I came home. I havent seen my husband yet, but I am on my way to the supermarket to pick up some groceries and come back and make him a great dinner, I am going to light some candles and give him a sensual massage and kiss and hold him and give him all the love in the world and assure him that I am his partner in this and I am here 100% and my love is unwavering. Isnt that all any guy wants anyway???

Again...I'm no Doctor, but maybe someone who's going through a selfish phase or trouble in their relationship may get something from this. I sure did.

    the surest way to try to change the behavior in another is to change your own behavior. so, good for you. put in 110% first for a while to see if is causes him to change a little. if down the line your marriage doesn't work, at least you can walk away knowing that you did everything you could possibly do to make things better, and you should feel good about it. good luck!!!!!!
