Recession Proofing our Marriage

by Leave a Comment

I was watching a show today that I had taped on my DVR from Oprah How to Recession Proof Your Marriage. 

After watching this I need to make sure my husband and I sit down and have this talk.  I want to make sure I let him know that no matter what our marriage is first.  If the time ever comes when we have to lose our home and our possessions that all that is not worth our marriage.  Even if we have to live in a small place and start from scratch we are more than our jobs and our possessions.

I think he feels the same, but I need to hear it from him.

Driving myself nuts

by Leave a Comment

I was driving myself nuts with our debt.  It is a constant thing I think about, which in turn has made me become almost a complete hermit.  I have done some thinking these last few days and I need to stop obsessing like I have or I am going to make myself sick.

I think it has already affected me to the point that when I think about our debt it make it hard to breathe.  So today I am praying for strength from God to please give me something else to fill my thoughts.  I need to have a life even if it is a simple life like I have now but I need peace.

After all my thoughts were it isn’t going to go away anytime soon.  I might as well enjoy my life in the process.  What made me realize this was of  course my bodies reaction and a show I saw on TV the other day, I think it was Dr. Phil.  Were there were a few couple who are almost paralyzed by thougths of their debt, to the point where they don’t get out of bed.   I don’t want to be like that I want to live life content and at peace that I am doing all I can.
