Coming Soon: Husband In A Box
Ask any marriage counselor or talk to any couple that has or has had a mate living with a mental disorder, if it has affected their relationship. I think you already know the answer. Staying together is hard enough without a mental illness… The facts show 1 and 3 marriages end within the first 5 years. So, how can some one with a mood disorder keep theirs from going down the toilet?
O.K… First, let me say that without a doubt, any marriage that has lasted and suffered through the valley of death and despair that is mental illness…. these couples would not have made it if it were not for the primary caregiver. The primary caregiver is your wife or husband. While we are off to Lou-Lou Land, they are always doing what they can to hold us together… Making sure we take our meds and get the help we need. They are educated about the illness. They have a compassion and love for us that we should be kissing their feet and begging for forgiveness daily!
Show me a couple that is living with one mate with a mental disorder that has been married more then 15 years that the above does not describe them to a tee… And I’ll bet they are misdiagnosed.
We, who live with these disorders, need to find ways to help our loved ones know that we are here for them. We want to make sure our marriage survives the rage of our disorders.
Here are a few tips that may help you avoid having to buy the Wife/Husband In A Box.
1. Talk to you mate… Keep the lines of communication open… Especially when your balanced…
2. Do something nice for your wife / Husband … Make time for them! Sometimes, we get too caught up with our own inner demons that we forget our angels that help us fight them off… Two are stronger then one.
3. Make an emergency plan, so that if things get real bad that it can be followed. Keep your mind to follow it if needed. This will help give your loved one a plan of action if things get too bad… It will give some control over a raging storm that is in you.
4. Be honest! Don’t lie or cheat! Don’t Steal or put yourself in a position that breaks up so many other marriages that don’t deal with a mental disorder. It’s hard enough to stay together why add to problems…
5. Say it, and do it often! Say I LOVE YOU! Show them that under the layers of distortions their is still deep love and passion for them… And show it! Make time for intimacy! NOT just sex! But time to be alone, just to talk about nothing at all… Just fun stuff… Holding hands can have so much power and a sweet, loving kiss makes your hair stand on end.
Now, I’m not saying doing this will save a marriage but it could be the stuff to help avoid it going down the road of marital apathy.
What do you do to keep your marriage working?
