Ahhhhh sweetie...

That one is easy to answer..... and I sure hope I get this right.....

Faith, Hope and Love and the greatest of these is Love.

There is a difference between "both" people trying, her in sobriety and your codependence, in trying to make the relationship work .... There is Hope in that. Trying to work in an active Alcoholic lifestyle or only one trying usually sucks the faith/hope from the relationship. There is no reason to stop trying to safe your marriage. It sounds like you both love each other and want the marriage to work.... If you were done trying, you would know it

I dont know about you, but I rarely find that type of love, love of the whole heart for another.... Now that is an amazing gift.
