Mark: Two weeks ago, the headlines in our local paper read: “Woman shot husband over lack of attention.” Such a sad story and an extreme way to handle frustration. Jill: Most of us have been frustrated with our spouse being distant or distracted at one time or...
Mark: I can remember the day like it was yesterday. I had determined I was leaving. I had communicated to Jill that I had closed off my heart to her months ago. I was looking forward to a soul mirage, determined to ride off into a new relationship and live happily...
