I have read that book and I loved it, I read it about a year ago and nothing ever came of it because my husband doesn't like to read and didn't want to bother with it. I will bring it up again and since now we are trying harder, maybe he will be more open to reading it.

I did think that being in love would last forever but I also was realistic and expected struggles and never expected us to stay the same, I just didn't let myself get discouraged by our hard times. He was a bit more unrealistic by thinking that even though we were going through a lot that we should have stayed the same as we were before (we actually just discussed this yesterday). Which is why he got discouraged with our marriage and let himself feel like we were "doomed for divorce"

But i see what you are saying, we are different and our marriage needs to adapt to how we are now and not how we were then (?)
