Why Some Marriages Fail After the Death of a Loved One
In a sense, you have become something
of a stranger to yourself and each other. In the process, your marriage cannot be
what it was before. You become new people, with no sense
of whether you can or should return to being
Your old selves. It is easy for you and your spouse to see many negatives
in each other and in your marriage. You may have to deal with whether and how to change
your marital relationship or even with the possible loss of your marriage.
