Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

The Road Less Traveled

And I second seeking out professional help. Talking it out certainly couldn't hurt, especially if your marriage is in jeopardy.

Any suggestions on a book that can help me try and better cope with myself?

There are essentially two seemingly contradictory truths about humanity.

1. We suck. You've noticed this part.
2. We're all created in God's image. I want you to realize this part.

What we feel when we're down is not what we are meant to feel forever.

If you read Psalm 8 it is so interesting to see that humanity is highly elevated. We want to live according to how God sees us.
Verses 1 and 9 are set apart. They are book ends if you will for this psalm, which is really just a poem. But verse 4 shows just how important humanity is. We are the focus of this psalm, as is God.

We were made to worship God and have dominion over all things. When you tend to your garden or cut your grass you're participating in that! When you talk to your wife you are showing God's love (and she'll appreciate it). You don't have to have a past. All can be forgiven. It might just work...you might feel new.

1 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c]

5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e]
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their[g] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
