Meet special guest Michelle: she has been married to her High School sweet heart for over 20 years, has two boys, and yet only in the past 2 years has her husband been diagnosed with Bipolar 2. We discuss how she took a pretty much broken marriage, and turned it around (with lots of help of course) into something stronger than ever. The goal for all of us is to find ways to be SECURE, even if circumstances in our lives are not STABLE. This is possible, and there is always hope and healing to be had.

Healing is a Slow Process
When we want to hand our mentally ill spouses over to their Doctors or their Therapists and say "Fix Him/Her", we need to understand one thing: It's a slow process. You can't drop them off at the hospital one night and have them come home in a couple days good as new. It takes a long time, often years, to heal, grow, mature, and improve your relationship. Here are my thoughts and some helpful tools from Stephen Covey's Book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" that you can borrow to make a game plan for improving your self and your relationship, and as a result, CHANGE THE WORLD! :)
