you have to be creative and willing to go the extra effort to make sure it stays healthy. You can write sexy letters and talk about the future. You can talk to the kids and make your husband's incarceration a journey with some excitement then they get to visit him. it's not going to be easy, it is easy to quit altogether but it sounds like you want to keep things together... we wish you the best
