I love my husband more than life itself. But he's frustrating because he's a closed book so to speak. He works very long hours and when he comes home, he doesn't seem to have much to say to me. He's very quiet. Sometimes i wonder how we ever fell in love he's always been like this. But now i'm starting to feel alone in the marriage. He won't go to marriage counseling. Is there any hope left? plus, we are TTC and now i'm worried because I feel like even though i'm married...i'll be a single mother. it's making me have doubts. anyone else have this issue?

Men and women are very different in the area of communication. Men don't like to talk much at all, compared to women. There are lots of books out there about the differences in men and women, and how to deal. One is called (I'm not sure if this is exactly right) Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti. That's a good one. Another one is His Needs, Her Needs. I believe that God puts people together, and that most marriages are worth working hard for. Love is not easy. A lot of times, after you've been married a while, you have to make a conscious effort to keep loving each other. It's not a fairy tale where you get married and just bask in the glow of your love. As long as there is no abuse involved, you should be able to work things out. I felt the same way as you shortly after I got married. We've been married almost 13 years now, and we're finally really and truly happy together. As you grow up together, you'll realize what's really important and what's not. You'll also learn to know when his quietness means there's a problem and when it means everything is OK. Good luck!

Peace.
1) You love him more than life itself.
2) He's working long hours for you.
3) Many marriages need at least a 30 minute rule before anything more than "Hi" is said. Time to regroup.
4) You knew he was quiet and yet fell in love. Ask yourself why?
5) You are not alone. You have a faithful, hardworking man, who evidently keeps the sex life alive.
6) It maybe the child will either bring him our or allow you to be one terrific mom.

I'm sorry. At the risk of sounding ignorant what is "TTC"?

Just try talking to him and he's bound to listen. Repeat yourself over and over. Something is bound to enter into his head.

Don't bring another into the world when your relations are rocky.
