One thing that I have noticed after five years of being reconciled with Sharon is that circumstances in life seem to occur that are very similar to circumstances that really stressed our relationship years ago. The encouraging thing to me is that when we chose to pray, use the tools we have learned the last five years, and seek the best for our “Team of Two”, then we navigate those circumstances a whole lot better than we used to and our relationship becomes stronger.

For those who are deeply struggling now I want to encourage you that there truly is hope that things can be a whole let better – my caution is that it is going to take some work to get there and stay there, but it’s possible.
