Two paths within marriage: Endure without escape or learn to create

When people realize that their marriage no longer has the closeness it once had, two paths open before them. The first is to endure for years, to please one another, to hide the pain behind polite smiles for guests, and to convince yourself that "there is no way out" or that you must "endure for the sake of the children." But a one-sided game never saves a home — it only slowly burns out the soul of the one who carries everything alone.

The second path is to find the courage to stop pretending and try to truly build a family: to find shared goals, to create your family values from scratch, and to lay down living traditions in which there is mutual respect and support.
