Re: Help! I want to save this marriage
I think you are on the right track with those suggestions. He needs guys time and the soccer thing will give him that opportunity to just laugh and have fun with the guys. Family events are great and obviously are a must so that is a good step. Date night, this type of thing has reinvigorated my personal relationship with my wife (we have 4 kids). It starts off with an email and/or phone call and basically one of us asks the other out on a date. Now this can be either an at home thing or getting a sitter and going out for dinner and a night on the town. I actually tackle it like when we were first dating or newlyweds and plan a nice dinner together, maybe a movie, take her for ice cream or just getting her some flowers and some wine and watching a movie together. This has also led to more spontaneous romance which is always a plus for a relationship. Take care of each other and the rest of the family business will fall into place. Just do spontaneous things like this out of the blue from time to time and it keeps exitement in a marriage. And always keep the positive attitude, you won't believe how contagious that is for a house. Give it some more time and keep up with the improvements that you've made because it sounds like you're heading into the right direction. Best of luck to you.
