Hey,
I am new to this site. It seems like a safe place to counsel. I am having MAJOR troubles in my marriage and it seems like things are not looking up for us. I have a ten year old from another marriage and have been married three years. It is by the grace of God that we have made it this far. We do love one another, however, I find myself questioning if love is enough. Please help. I hate to sound desperate, but truly, I am. Thanks and again, its nice to meet everyone!

Can you be a little more specific? In your post, your only struggle seems to be with 'questioning whether love is enough' .

Not sure what you are asking but I'll take a stab at it.
If things are seeming cold, it usually happens because parents stop being boyfriend/girfriend and
become mom and dad. You need to go on dates. This will keep the fun in your marriage. He
actually needs to ask you out. You can say yes or play hard to get so he has to buy you flowers.
The dating thing is more a state of mind than reality but its the mindset that keeps the fire alive.

If you need someone to keep the kids, see if a friend will help out. If need be, offer to take their
kids so they can go out. The primary thing that breaks marriages down is not spending time
together to keep your marriage strong. The rule is - Weak marriage equals broken home.
Divorce is a killer to both parents and kids. It's worth the effort.

I would point out one thing. Good marriages and bad marriages face the same problems. The only
difference is commitment.
Love will never be enough. If Christ is not the center, it will be difficult to keep it together. There
are 3 members of a marriage. You, your spouse and Christ. If your marriage is like a three
strain rope with Christ being the third strain that binds it all together, it will be blessed.
