There are several points in a marriage that are truly breaking points--those are 7, 15, 20, 25 and I believe it is 30 or 35 years. These are the years that you must rely on the unshakable committment that you made to each other--because we all have days and sometimes years that we just don't like each other, but our committment will sustain us and make a strong basis for our love to grow and strengthen in the long run.labbie1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03300554678932160244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-16321011903620590732011-03-26T14:30:30.931-07:002011-03-26T14:30:30.931-07:00I don't have enough info to give a good idea o...I don't have enough info to give a good idea other than to suggest that if there is a possibility, get him involved with men of the church who can help to mentor him--and her. Also, there is a great course by Dr. Joe Beam--well, several courses for both home study and for study in a group setting which helps with keeping everyone on track.<br /><br />Perhaps there is a preacher who can help to begin the process and then get them with a professional Christian counselor?labbie1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03300554678932160244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-57564059631127729832011-03-26T10:01:05.686-07:002011-03-26T10:01:05.686-07:00I agree with Michele above!

I have seen too many marriages fall apart once the kids leave because it was always all about the kids. There has to be a balance.gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894920637532415315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-61499081964360516852011-03-26T08:25:55.573-07:002011-03-26T08:25:55.573-07:00About 20 years ago when a dear friend and I were y...About 20 years ago when a dear friend and I were young wives and mothers my own mother gave us advice that shocked us both. She said "Always put your husband before your kids." We both thought she was wrong, we are both divorced now. My parents have been married 54 years. <br />She needs to talk with her husband and listen to his side. Men see the world in a much different way.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402347033225727585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-61572099465218810422011-03-26T03:59:17.040-07:002011-03-26T03:59:17.040-07:00Perhaps seeking the advice from a marriage counsel...Perhaps seeking the advice from a marriage counsellor could help?Veronica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14411581380408080378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-52574725382760791762011-03-25T18:27:19.083-07:002011-03-25T18:27:19.083-07:00That sounds so tough!
