Journal Entry: February 22, 2008

"Well, I did go to the counselor today.  It was good.  I think it will help me.  In some ways, he didn't say anything new, but it still helps me have some direction and focus.

"He asked me to be extra intimate in my affection - not sexual, but a loving touch or a 1-2 sentence comment.

"He also recognized the pattern of when things are good or hopeful it is "too close" for me, so I say something negative to push him further back.  So true.  He wants me to be careful to have no regrets-if the marriage ends, it will, but I can't look back & wish I'd been more loving or forgiving.

"He asked me to look up two scriptures - in Mathew about "Come unto me ye heavy laden" and in D&C regarding "a law irrevocably decreed in heaven."

"I really liked that we began with a prayer.  I liked that he is a member of my church & can bring in gospel principles to our discussion & that he understands some of the things that have been difficult from this perspective.  I like that I came out hopeful & not discouraged.  I think it is worth my money."
