Bradford,
Thanks for the extra fill in on your marriage. I really don't have much to
offer. Seems you are already doing some of the right things in seeing a
counselor and in reading recommended materials.

or heart issues should we discuss that constitute a "problem"?
My opinion would not be of a professional nature. I personally believe the
key to any marriage is for both parties to have a true love for Jesus Christ and
a deep desire to see the marriage through. Most marital problems revolved around
selfishness.
Perhaps I can share something a very wise lady told me. She said that we
create our own happiness. Her point is that in marriage we must learn to accept
one another as we are, and go from there. That very wise lady was and is my
wife.
Wish I could help you more.
Blessings,
Buddy
