No matter how much you love you spouse sometimes I really do not feel its enough to make it work ...not when you throw in his kids, your kids, ex's, other stresses ....I do not think love can fix everything or conquer all...I love my DH I really do but sometimes I wonder...Anyone else ever feel this way..

Yep, I think we all do. If I can be so bold as to speak for everyone.

That is why being equity partners who make the marriage the priority over all other things is critical.

Of course different things may take precedent for short periods and require the joint focus of both partners but the priority of the marriage is the foundation for letting love be successful.

Hang in there.

I agree wholeheartedly. Even in my impetuous youth, I always believed love wasn't enough, and I married someone who sees it the same way. Lucky me!

Yes I feel this way sometimes. I think its normal when your married to have these questioning thoughts. My DH is very frustrating and I know my life would be more financially sound without him. I think about this alot. BUT ultimately I know that I would be miserable without him and his kids.

I don't think love is enough. There are certain things that can't be changed and sometimes those things make it intolerable to stay together, even though there is love.
