Marriage is hard, relationships are hard but changing relationships doesn't make it any easier. <br /><br />My girlfriend asked why I went back to my husband. I went back because I have to learn how to do this relationship thing right, or at least better. I need a relationship to do that and any new relationship will have the same problems because I'm in it. Might as well work with what I've got.<br /><br />Your in laws sound lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-35385828439575459502009-06-23T09:01:49.792-07:002009-06-23T09:01:49.792-07:00Even though the Jon and Kate outcome seemed inevit...Even though the Jon and Kate outcome seemed inevitable, I'm saddened by it as well. I agree with you that marriage is unbelievably hard - even when the outside pressures are not so tremendous. I wish the whole family peace and healing. <br /><br />I think of Abide often these days, and its close cousin Acceptance, as my own marriage goes through its most recent transition.Deb Shuckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439395710731341021noreply@blogger.com
