  1. Prayer up!
  2. They are all crazy. Even if you find a good one, they go crazy.
  3. So I heard three things..Lack of friends, lack of things, generally unhappy.
  4. You can certainly try other churches. They are like people. Each has a different personality. You want a church that does activities together where you can get to know people. Small group studies, join the choir, outings, etc. Sometimes the larger churches offer more activities but they can also be cliquish. You'll just have to try.
  5. Shake things up with some non-church activities. Try Partner dancing. Meetups.com. Find out what she is interested in trying. You could probably find a list of activities online and review them with her.
  6. Get the book the 5 love languages and find out what hers and yours is. Gift giving is one...and usually that doesn't have to be big things... but can be very small and frequent. Master all 5.
  7. Consider volunteering. Take her to feed the homeless. She'll feel good about herself and realize how much she has.
  8. Find out what things she is envious of...maybe you can rent them for a weekend, instead of trying to buy stuff.

Sounds like a lot of work to me.

Disclosure: rusty0604 has been happily divorced for 25 years and any relationship she had since she dropped like a hot potato when it became more work than fun.
