He loves you

You are struggling. Is this any surprise, when you have lost sight of His love for you? Ask yourself, "Do I really and truly believe that God delights in me?" If the answer is no, ask Him to show you. It is only when you know His love for you that you can find joy in being His daughter and nothing else.

You must give Him more time with your heart.

The Rosary

When you say the Rosary, you are like a little baby cuddled in her Mother's arms, gazing lovingly up at her eyes, patting her face, saying "Mamamama". The baby is full of life, as only one who is fully trusting can be, and the Mother delights in this trusting love by recommitting all of herself to her little one.

Your way

The longer the list of things that have to be your way, the surer you are to be unhappy.

Seek the will of God.

Trinitarian friendships

Think Trinity for friendships: you, the other, the relationship.

Every two people have a unique relationship and draw different dimensions to the fore.

It is easy to become jealous of friends of your spouse, not because they threaten your relationship with him, but because they share something unique that you will never share with him. But yours, as spouse, is deeply unique as well! The friendships enrich your spousal relationship because they help him to develop other dimensions of self that he will then be able to share with you.

This, of course, assumes a healthy friendship. Bad friendships bring out bad dimensions, and should be rectified or terminated.
