Hi there. I found your post way down on the bottom of someone else's thread. Seeing as you ask a marriage related question, I have moved you to the Married Life forum so you will be more easily found and hopefully get some answers.
Please read the FAQ and Guidelines at the top of each forum. They will help you find your way around. Please also create a new thread in Meets and Greets so we can welcome you properly. :)

When you post in Meet and Greet, I'll welcome you there. In regard to the marriage thing, do you go on date nights? Do you do special things for each other? Do you each try to be more giving (to the other one) rather than selfish? Do you pray together? Do you have any common interests? Do you praise your husband or belittle or fuss at him? Do you whisper negative things about him to yourself? Do you each treat the other with the courtesy you would someone else? Do you give your husband back, shoulder, or foot rubs? I could go on and on but you get the point. You don't have to answer these for me, just for yourself. I hope this puts you on the right track and I'll pray for you both. Oh...why not post a prayer request since your hubby is out of work?

It's amazing how matters of our hearts can puzzle us and bring us to the point of exasperation.

Being laid off can create a [I]very[I] challenging time.

When I am seeking an answer to a problem, I will go to bed at night and ask God to please speak to me in a dream as to how I might deal with the matter. He is so faithful to provide the answers.

Pray for your husband...ask him what the desires of his heart are regarding the job situation then pray for his request.

And together, go to church and be surrounded by other believers. Show your faithfulness to God and He will be faithful to you both.

Let us know how it goes...Jesus' light will be illuminating on your marriage.!thumbsup!

If you're talking about bringing the spark back on a physical level, I can't think of a better place to get ideas than at my other hangout, The Marriage Bed. (www.themarriagebed.com) The main page has a lot of great information, and the discussion forums are (be warned) startlingly open... but there are a lot of Godly people there who want the best for your marriage and will do their best to pray for and advise you in that direction.
