For years, I was unhappy in my marriage, feeling alone... even when we were together I felt alone. Disconnection and a lack of communication replaced laughter with silence, draining the fun from our relationship.  Constant blaming, criticizing and disapproval were the only words we spoke.   I wondered if we had "pasted the point of no return".

Over 14 years, we sought help from eight different marriage counselors. The last one suggested divorce, prompting me to take matters into my own hands. In the early '90s, before "Google it" became common, I researched workshops, books, and valuable information to salvage our marriage.

Applying what I learned, our relationship improved. I stood my ground but witnessed a transformation; my spouse grew more loving, respectful, and eager to spend time together.  He actually said to me one day..."What's going on...All of your Ammo is down?"  It was noticeable to him that we were becoming a loving couple again!  We shared a loving marriage for his remaining 21 years, attending our children's weddings and cherishing our grandchildren.
