If you think of this time as a way to relieve stress, it's sure to become enjoyable. Surrounded by someone you haven't seen since your class reunion, your heart gradually begins to heal. You're under constant scrutiny from your family, and your husband only pays attention to his own parents. Even so, the time spent with that person feels truly special. Even if it's just a brief moment, you crave each other and love one another deeply. That warmth is enough to wash away the exhaustion of daily life.
