Hi Ann: Thanks for linking to this excellent article; it brings out some very important points, e.g. why do we feel we need to change someone? (learned that one after my 1st marriage failed). As someone who's been married for 30 years, I think if we're not vigilant, it's easy to slide into 'neglect' of our marriage - i.e. not speaking out, but also not curbing inappropriate grumpiness or complaint & judgments, not doing some fun/enjoyable things together,etc.
