Depression is a disease that can make marriage miserable. When one spouse feels depressed, it affects both partners. Therefore, dealing with depression in marriage can be incredibly difficult. It can rob emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy and drives both parties into isolation.
If your spouse is depressed, you might consequently feel ignored, unimportant and frustrated. Maybe you wonder why your mate can’t just turn off the negativity and get on with life. However, if you’re the one who is depressed, perhaps you wish that your spouse would get off your back and you’re feeling trapped with little hope for recovery.
But there is hope.
