There have been three times in our relationship when we were unable to resolve an issue on our own. We used all the skill that we have and yet it was still unresolved. In those three times we sought professional help because there was a blind spot for each of us. The therapist was able to listen to both of us and help us come to a place of resolution that we both felt good about. I feel very grateful for that help. Most times we have been able to work things through on our own. Sometimes we can clear the issue in a matter of a few minutes, sometimes an hour and sometimes it can take several days. But we still keep working on it until we both say that we feel complete, we understand our own part and responsibility in the issue rather than simply blaming each other, are willing to go on, and there is an even deeper connection and sometimes even humor to the situation. In working each issue through to completion we have been able to retain a beautiful lightness in our relationship that we both cherish.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joyce Vissell" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/joyce-vissell/we-have-been-together-for-40-years-married-for-36-there-have-been/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5f3/joyce-vissell-51819_counseling_we-have-been-together-for-40-years-marri_805747.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5f3/joyce-vissell-51819_counseling_we-have-been-together-for-40-years-marri_805747.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5f3/joyce-vissell-51819_counseling_we-have-been-together-for-40-years-marri_805747.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“We have been together for 40 years, married for 36.
