I just read your post to Jennifer Jones. And I was wondering if you think you will ever love your wife again. I guess I am asking because my H is home now and I feel like he may just be here with us for the sake of responsibilty. Which to me does not seem like a bad thing because I keep thinking that he fell in love with me once, why not again. I don't know I guess I am wondering if it can happen again. <BR><P>------------------<BR>Jaded Heart<BR>____________<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>and if I shed a tear I won't cage it<BR>I won't fear love<BR>and if I feel a rage I won't deny it<BR>I won't fear love<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>"Fumbling Towards Ecstasy"<BR>Sarah Mclachlan<P><BR>

jadedheart,<P>Hmm... You ask me a question that I ask myself every day. I don't know if I'll ever fall in love with my wife again. I have doubts about whether I really ever loved her strongly enough to begin with. I told jenn this and I'll tell you -- I'm not the best example to look at, so don't compare me with your husband.<P>As far as your husband is concerned, I too think it's a good thing that he's back. If he is truly committed to making your marriage work, then the chances are very good that he can rediscover the love he felt for you before, as long as you two figure out the emotional needs of each other. Figure out what it was that made him fall in love with you in the beginning. Does he remember those days? Does he remember when he was head-over-heals for you? If so, then you're already half-way there.<P>--andy

Thanks so much Andy,<BR>I hope one day you will have the answer to your question too. I know there was a time when he loved me and he says he still does love me. I want to get back some of that in love feeling too. We had a great talk today about our needs and he seems to be very open to trying. So we are taking baby steps. I am in this to get back the love and I think if we work together we have a decent chance!<BR>

Jaded,<P>Glad I could help a little. From what you say, it sounds like you two will come out just fine! Baby steps are the way to go. Do not expect huge jumps overnight! I know you realize that already, but well... just repeating it for reinforcement. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>--andy
