Do you have any ideas to help me and my depressed spouse?

How Depression Can Influence Your Marriage

One of the most difficult things to understand in marriage is having a depressed spouse. Many individuals feel responsible to make their spouse happy. However, in many instances depression is not caused by the marriage partner. In order to help someone who is depressed in a marriage it is important to take time to evaluate what you can and cannot do to help with the depression. Be supportive, but don't take it upon yourself to solve your spouses depression. That could make you depressed.
