After reading through your web site and listening to the online copies of your radio programs, I must confess to having blundered in every way possible and having failed to succeed in meeting any one of my wife's top 5 needs (as I would guess them to be). We have been married nearly 25 years, and 4 kids at home, and she has left with the kids. Both she and I have suffered serious depressions over recent years and both are receiving medication and therapy for depression. She has given up and I want to try marriage counseling. Any suggestions for getting her to agree to at least try before heading toward divorce?

DW - <p>You have stared by taking that first step - realizing that you too are responsible for the state of your relationship.<p>There will be many more steps to take - requiring much patience and energy, but as long as that divorce is not filed there is hope.<p>Read Harley's Books (give and take and His neds Her needs), and also "Divorce Busting" (Weiner-Davis). The latter will give you plenty of new ways of looking at both yourself and your relationship.<p>When you feel you are losing grip, just hang on to the love you carry in your heart for your wife. You are not alone!<br>J
