for the past month somthing bad (whether small or large) has happened every single day. from my fiance getting a ticket, to a family pet dying to family members going to the hospital. what in the world can we do to get ourselves out of this downward spiral!? guys...how can i help my fiance deal with stress but also let him know that i need a little love too(without sounding selfish)?

I used to look at life kind of like that - but now instead of looking at the things that go wrong and the things I don't have - I look at the things that do go right and the things I do have! To me its about thinking positive and not letting those negative things get you down (easier said than done) - My motto to people is things always get better - and they do - they will for you too. Good Luck.

Here's something the two of you can do together every day. Get a journal and write in it the good things that happen each day. I know that one some days you may have to get as basic as, "I woke up this morning, had hot water for my shower and the car started" but this practice will help you to look for the good in your day and it will be something to make you and your fiance to reflect and smile together with. Some days this activity will be harder than others, but there are blessings each day if you're looking for them.
