Default Feeling happier with my marriage

Many of you have read my posts and know my husband and I have been through our own hell, but things have improved and we have moved to a new place in our marriage.

I have noticed he is treating me much better and is more attentive. He was wonderful during the the ice storm in the NE where we live, drove 8 hours to get here, (was working out of state) worked 12 to get the generator going for us (which needed repair) despite his own fatigue. He had to drive back in the middle of the night to resume work the next day. He was nothing short of amazing, and I so appreciate how hard he works for us. He is saying that he loves me again, which means a lot to me. Of course I am doing the same.

I wanted to post this to update my situation, and wish all of you a very happy holiday season. For those that are having marital distress, hang in there and I will pray for you to wish you peace with whatever comes your way or with whatever you decide. For those that are without power..hang in there and hope you get it back soon!

Thank you both for your support, and Amp I know you gave me your time and good advice in the past. Voivod, you too, but one slight correction as we have only been married 21 years and together for 26...but I aim to see that 50th!
