...breakdown in communication. Roy and I have had one of THOSE weeks, and I think all married people know what I'm talking about. I don't have any reason why we are at each other. I hate it when we're like this, too. Nothing I do or say is good enough, and I'm sure he feels the same way. He doesn't hear what I'm saying to him; when I try to talk to him about something (like the testing Payton is going to start next week) he immediately loses his patience with me which stonewalls the conversation. I, in turn, shut down completely and just start not caring about things (like the testing Payton is going to start next week).
Today was probably the first time in our relationship that Roy and I didn't speak to each other more than once during the work day. That NEVER happens. Even when we are upset at one another we still talk throughout the day - at least until today. And I don't know how to fix it.
All of this being said, I am proud of the relationship that we have. For all of the bad moments, we have many more good moments, weeks, etc. I guess we need to refocus. I thought that's what we had done a couple of weekends ago when we went to Branson but I guess we either didn't stay long enough, didn't REALLY focus on us or need to focus on the Lord more. I have a feeling that it's probably the last one.
Lord, thank You for giving me Roy as a mate. I prayed for someone that would be the husband and father that Roy is. Please place a hedge of protection around our marriage and our family. Our priorities get out of order, Lord, and we need to remember that You are our only priority.
Roy, no matter what we go through as a couple, I am thankful for the trials that we are given because they are from the Lord. He knows what He has in store for us and I have trust and have faith in Him. Jeremiah 29:11
