Just was reading about the PoJA on the newsletter sent by S. Harley. The importance of being able to provide the emotional needs is a consistant expectation we have in marriage. When a spouse becomes ill or gets pregnant there is a change in the course of events. Adjustments are not easily attended to by many couples which is why so often affairs seem to circumvent these times in our lives!

How often to we read here about the A and the time being when someone was sick, close family died, a pregnancy- being a parallel situation to our trouble with an A?

PoJA can get tripped up due to the illness, and efforts to feel well when we are already over spent, energy wise / physically and emotionally.

The lack of attention a partner gets may possibly be directly related to these events. Understanding this transition in our lives when we are faced with these events could help to prevent or fix the A problem.
