I get it. It’s difficult to see a way out of your situation when you’ve hit rock bottom. It feels like you’ve tried everything but to no avail. Like no matter what you do you’re left feeling defeated. I can understand that it’s difficult to see how things could change. But even though you feel […]
Saving your marriage can feel like more than saving the relationship between two people – it can feel like saving a life. Your entire world is wrapped up in your relationship.
