My husband and I agreed to counsling to help our marriage. He still insist that it is to late He can not regain his feelings for me but will try. He swears there is no one else. He says we have been though this to many times and nothing has changed or it does for a month or two then it is back to where it was how do I make a plan to make sure this stays intack this time? He means the world to me I do not want to lose him & Like he said we have over 10 years of history together. just for him to throw it away would be crazy! I do not understand BUT I AM TRYING SO HARD!

Yay!!!! Just going to the counseling should help tremendously IF he's really going to try. I;m so glad he agreed.<p>Just be patient. It took time for things to get to this state--it will take time for them to get better. <p>{{hugs}}

How did you fall in love? What were the things and activities you did during the courtship? What made you both laugh?<p>My marriage fell into the doldrums, with a very bad result I could have pre-empted.<p>Counselling identified we did not spend enough 1-on-1 time (w/3 kids hard to do), and we needed to spend some time every night just talking, even if the kids were making a mess.<p>The first "date", I packed a picnic, we went to the botanical gardens and relaxed, talked, hugged, and realized there has always been a deep and special love and connection between us. Neither one wanted to end our marriage, and we're working hard to re-kindle the flame.<p>I wish you success, it's difficult, we ended up going through two counsellors until we settled on a third who provided an immediate set of actions and goals.
