@Laurie- I don’t recall anything unforgivable being said, just honest thoughts. And honest thoughts don’t necessarily need to be forgiven, just understood and addressed.

@Erin- We both found ourselves not really liking each other or being around each other much. My wife broke this cycle by being up front with me and asking straight out, “what’s going on?” We overcame this by choosing to work through everything together, counseling, and a career change for myself.

How were you able to identify that career, success, etc. were having a negative effect on your marriage? How did you overcome that?

I’ve also found that focusing on the basics in your relationship as well as life in general makes for a much more fulfilling life.

It’s easy to get caught up in work, technology, social circles, etc.

However, when you go for a walk with your spouse in a park, pausing for a few minutes in a quiet spot, just to gaze into her eyes, it helps bring the rest of your life into proper perspective.

You didn’t ask this question specifically, but I’m betting you have very open and honest communication, too…

Thanks for the “interview.”

Great interview! What a great reporter.

So during your difficult times, did you or she ever say anything that was really unforgivable? How did you get past that? What would you have done if your wife had told you that marrying you was the biggest mistake she’s ever made?

It’s nice to know a bit more about you.
