How is your marriage going? Be honest…...Hey there,<br /><br />How is your marriage going? Be honest…how is it ACTUALLY going?<br /><br />If you’re reading this e-mail right now, then chances are your marriage isn’t what it used to be… and maybe it’s so bad, that you feel like your world is falling apart.<br /><br />You feel like all the passion, the love, and romance have completely faded.<br /><br />You feel like you and your wife can’t stop yelling at each other.<br /><br />And maybe you feel that there’s almost nothing you can do to save your marriage, no matter how hard you try.<br /><br />But you’re wrong.<br /><br />You CAN save your marriage — even if your wife says she wants to get a divorce. You CAN rebuild that passion you felt for one another when you first kissed. And you can bring back that love and devotion you felt for one another when both of you said, “I love you” for the first time.<br /><br />If you feel like your marriage is worth fighting for, then do yourself a favour and watch this quick video that will teach you everything you need to know about salvaging the most important thing in the world:<br /><br />=><b><a href="http://www.mobilethemesworld.com/2018/08/18/the-marriage/" rel="nofollow">Save Your Marriage Now (VIDEO)</a></b><= <br /><br />In this video, you’ll learn the three critical mistakes that most couples commit that rip marriages apart. Most couples will never learn how to fix these three simple mistakes.<br /><br />You’ll also learn a simple, proven “Marriage Saving” method that makes marriage counsellors look like kindergarten teachers.<br /><br />So if you feel like your marriage is about to take its last few breaths, then I urge you to watch this quick video:<br /><br />Make Your Wife Adore You Again ==> <b><a href="http://www.mobilethemesworld.com/2018/08/18/the-marriage/" rel="nofollow">Fix Your Marriage – Start Making HAPPY Memories</a></b><= <br /><br />You’ve got nothing to lose.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />-[[Ana]]-<br />masukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409434025256225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-29645989385532520122011-10-05T09:17:40.344-07:002011-10-05T09:17:40.344-07:00How exciting!

Here's my $0.02.<br /><br />My husband just began his 3rd year of law school, and the main thing that has helped me (/us) is to use this time to develop myself.<br /><br />SO much emphasis is placed on what *he* is doing right now. It is easy to get lost if you're not careful. Instead of just "helping him get through," make a list of things you want to learn and accomplish during the next 3 years. Think of your goals in 4 categories: Spiritual, Physical, Mental, and Emotional.<br /><br />I guarantee that if you do this, you will be stronger as a couple, the time will FLY by, and you will sit at graduation feeling proud of *your* efforts as well...therefore allowing you to celebrate fully (instead of just exhaling in relief!)<br /><br />HAVE FUN!!!Shalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502915502566087501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-67327086592148420962011-09-19T23:06:02.068-07:002011-09-19T23:06:02.068-07:00Haha!

I just found your blog and I love it! Th...Hi there! I just found your blog and I love it! That is very cool that your husband is going to law school. It's something I have always wanted to do but I am pretty much schooled out so I don't think that will be happening anytime soon. As far as dealing with tough times, my husband is in the military and we just finished with our first deployment and there were days where I really wasn't sure how our marriage was supposed to work under conditions like that. It was hard, and exhausting, and it took every bit of fight I had in me to get through it, but now that we are done, and looking back on it, I am so thankful that we both fought so hard, because now our marriage is better than ever. We learned a lot of things during that time, especially about each other. So even though law school will be hard on both of you, like you said, you can do it, and in the end it will all have been completely worth it and reward you in more ways than one.

The three years he was in law school was definitely hard, but they cherished every moment that they had together. They tried to show each other love in special ways with little surprises, and this would be something that I'm sure your husband would love when it gets overwhelming. She also had a strong support group of girlfriends. Try and vacation during the summer and soak up every moment you have when it comes your way!Jamie LaFuzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834702102573257823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-60680036549701728382011-08-22T06:34:27.252-07:002011-08-22T06:34:27.252-07:00Its really only the first year.

My husband us a project manager for a construction company and at the end of his last job he worked 22 consecutive days- yes no weekends- and those days he would work from 6 AM to 9:00 PM- and no he didn't get paid over time. So it sucks and is hard- but then you find your groove and routine during the chaos and in the end it is all worth it- especially if he buys you a new lens for your camera to say thank you for dealing with it all ;)Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675419215475635276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-28698011637587696412011-08-21T17:25:38.307-07:002011-08-21T17:25:38.307-07:00It's hard, but will fly by!

This should be interesting! The only advice I have, is no advice at all... everyone has their own different style of embracing the crazy world of law school. I will assure you this it will be an amazing adventure so no matter how difficult it may get enjoy the ride. Definitely keep us posted!

You'll be bringing home work- grading, lesson planning- or staying late- teacher conferences, school events- and so will he- homework, etc.<br /><br />I think that the biggest strain happens when the law school wife is just that- the law school wife. She is not defined by anything else, and she is needy for her husband's attention. She resents the time he spend on homework/school/etc., when it could be spent on her, because she is bored since she doesn't have a job. Or, understandably, she is wrangling a few small kiddos by herself a lot and doesn't feel like she has help.<br /><br />As to the other side of the equation- I worked full time and went to both under graduate and graduate school full time. And I still managed to have relationships, go out on dates, have down time, work out a few times a week, volunteer, and hang out with my large extended family. It's all about priorities. Sometimes students will procrastinate and say they need to spend 6 hours in the library but really, half of that time is surfing the internet and distracting themselves. If a student is serious, they will budget their time according to their priorities- whatever they may be- and they won't use school as an excuse for being an absentee spouse or parent.<br /><br />Good luck!Gadget Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971024177627139486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-77165668458030056032011-08-20T16:33:44.083-07:002011-08-20T16:33:44.083-07:00Hopefully it won't be as bad as they say.

It was tough, but we learned to cope by making sure that we set aside time to visit about how our day went. I know it sounds simple, but setting that time aside helped relieve stress in the form of venting, and kept us informed on each other's lives. It's amazing how easy it is to just say a quick hello and go straight to bed. Then, you realize days have gone by without you even talking. <br /><br />Also, embrace this opportunity to be able to explore your own independence. It's actually pretty nice to be able to have time to do girly things. You will get through this, and your lives will be better because of it. I hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269480083849231109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-9254790286573751822011-08-19T23:00:50.481-07:002011-08-19T23:00:50.481-07:00My hubs is going to law school next fall so I can&...My hubs is going to law school next fall so I can't wait to see how everything turns out for you guys.

In fact, his first year was amazing because we lived an hour and a half from his school so I would drive him while he would sleep in the car (he worked full time in the day) or I would quiz him in the car. By keeping me involved I felt I was part of the process. Yes, there will be nights where he's up until 5 am but that's only because he loves you and your future family.<br /><br />So many things have happened in the last few years that I feel like I could write a book. But so far, things have been pretty amazing. There have been ups and downs but never within our marriage. He's been Elder's Quorum President as well as other callings and he's been able to manage Church, school, and family. <br /><br />Lastly, my husband found it really comforting when I tell him how proud I am of him. I forget to do that but when I do it makes a world of a difference.Tiffany Kadanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887874943048853535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-11353933116980833542011-08-19T22:02:09.391-07:002011-08-19T22:02:09.391-07:00I'm not a law school wife, but I am a military...I'm not a law school wife, but I am a military wife and worse than that my husband is in missiles.

But we're certain that we make use of the open times he does have! We try to utilize that to go on dates, spend time as a family and more importantly be a couple. When he's home, he's home.

I imagine the first year of law school will be the hardest as well. He will be getting use to new teachers and studying habits. But it really isn't as bad as you think! Be glad you are in a state with normal people!! Just kidding, but living far far away from everything you've ever known makes it much worse! I have found that the friends I have made out here who are in the same shoes as me helps tremendously! I can hang out and do things I enjoy all while getting the much needed attention I am deprived of at home! Girls nights are a MUST!! No matter how well you know a new group of girls! Also make use of your free time! Whether it be a friday night for a few hours or a saturday go out and do things that have nothing to do with school! That way the two of you can focus on eachother!

I think the biggest thing that made a HUGE difference was my husband made family his priority. No ifs, ands or buts. Graduating law school isn't gpa driven - meaning, C is passing. Most firms will not look at your grades when you apply. To them, you passing is good enough. So your husband shouldn't feel like he HAS to have A's or be involved in every group under the sun. Not saying good grades aren't good, just don't put the stress on that if you want family first.<br />Was it fun? Not really, but I didn't feel like a widow & I'm so proud of his accomplishment. Just be there for him & be understanding when finals come up & you two should be just fine.<br />Welcome to the club! :)Devenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395244488446664319noreply@blogger.com
