Facing Change Together Practical ways to build marital unity in times of stress. by The Word Among Us
Good or bad, sought or unsought, inevitable or unexpected—change is a reality that no one can escape. When you get married, though, you multiply your chances of being affected by it.
And right there in the vows, you promise to stand together through whatever changes life will bring: “For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.”
Even good change produces stress, and too much stress can impair physical health and the health of marriage and family life. So what can married couples do to maintain unity in stressful times? Can we improve the way we handle change?
Here are some suggestions from psychologist André Leyva, Ph.D., who has a family counseling practice in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He and his wife have six children—and so, ample experience of change in family life…

Re-statement of Romance by Wallace Stevens Comments (0) The night knows nothing of the chants of night.
It is what it is as I am what I am:
And in perceiving this I best perceive myself
And you. Only we two may interchange
Each in the other what each has to give.
Only we two are one, not you and night,
Nor night and I, but you and I, alone,
So much alone, so deeply by ourselves,
So far beyond the casual solitudes,
That night is only the background of our selves,
Supremely true each to its separate self,
In the pale light that each upon the other throws.

Q. My husband died a year ago and I've started a new relationship. My friends and family are horrified that I am involved in a relationship so soon after the death of my husband. How can I make them see how right my new relationship is for me?
A. People often have opinions about how soon to date following the loss of a spouse (although a year is fairly commonly accepted). Unless your friends and family have specific concerns that you're being taken advantage of financially or in some other way by your new partner, we suspect that it will be just a matter of time before they can accept this new person. You can't please all the people all the time, and trying to convince them you're right will likely drive them further into judgement-land. Let them have their own time to grieve and move on. If they never come to accept your new partner, so be it.
