The love between a man and woman on their wedding day and the days that follow is infectious. Then life happens, and the honeymoon stage fades and the type of love you have with your husband shifts. But for some reason, this shift is more dramatic for some couples. Some couples fall out of love.

The mere thought of your husband not loving you anymore is devastating, but it happens. What are you supposed to do if it happens to you? Follow these five guidelines to help you and your husband through this difficult time:

1. Love him unconditionally

Don't base your love for him on how he loves you. Instead, choose to love him unconditionally. It's natural for a woman to feel resentful and angry when she feels unloved. Unfortunately, this negative effect makes you less attractive something that makes your husband love you even less. Realize, however, that unconditional love does not mean that you accept abuse. If you are still in a healthy marriage, pledge to love your husband without limits. If verbal, emotional or physical abuse is a part of your marriage, do not tolerate it. Leave and seek help.

2. Respect him even more

Men thrive on their ego. For them, it is almost a basic need. When you behave in a disrespectful manner, it makes your mister feel unloved, which could cause him to pull away and stop loving you. As his wife, treat your husband with utmost respect and he'll return the favor. Respect his opinions, his time and his decisions. Respect your partnership and always involve him in all the decisions you have to make including issues affecting your children, household and future together.

3. Help him regain confidence

Maybe you've accomplished an amazing goal, which has fostered jealousy and insecurity in the heart of your partner. It then becomes easy for him to belittle you to compensate for his feelings of insecurity. Criticism has replaced loving support, and your man falls out of love. To fight this cycle, talk to your husband about how he's feeling. Help him focus on his own successes. Find ways he can excel in life, and help him regain is confidence. Love in marriage shouldn't be based on who has accomplished more; it depends on a team of two who support and push each other to be better. His achievements should be your achievements, and your wins should be his wins.

4. Re-examine your ways

Walk down the memory lane and see if you can figure out why your husband fell in love with you in the first place. Write down the personal attributes and virtues that your husband loved when you were dating. Then go through the items one by one. Conduct a strict personal evaluation do you still have these virtues and values? Maybe he loved a happy you and life has turned you into a sad and bitter person. Of course you have changed since the early days of your marriage, but don't forget who you were that's the person you husband fell in love with so many years ago.

5. Have a grateful heart

Nothing compares to a grateful heart. Stop being the kind of person who is too hard to impress. Learn to appreciate even the tiniest things that your husband does for you and your children. It's normal for him not to meet your expectations every once in a while no one can be expected to do that. Even if he seems to fall short, that doesn't mean that he isn't trying hard enough. Refocus your heart to be more grateful. Society has made us think that men are strong enough to tolerate anything, which couldn't be more wrong. By being more grateful, your husband will realize how much you love and appreciate him; two emotions that are hard to not reciprocate.

Along with these five points, effective communication is key. Keep communication lines open, at least from your end. Ensure to spend some time with your husband to help to bring back that love. If he fell in love with you first, believe me; that love is not dead. You just have to reawaken it.
Its toxic: New study says blue light from tech devices can speed up blindness

It turns out checking Twitter or Facebook before bed is bad for your health.

A new study from the University of Toledo found that blue light from digital devices can transform molecules in your eyes retina into cell killers.

That process can lead to age-related macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, according to the researchs extract.

Blue light is a common issue for many modern Americans. Blue light is emitted from screens, most notably at night, causing sleep loss, eye strain and a number of other issues.

Dr. Ajith Karunarathne, assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said our constant exposure to blue light cant be blocked by the lens or cornea.

"It's no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye's retina. Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop, he said.

Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease that often affects those in their 50s or 60s. It occurs after the death of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Those cells need retinal to sense light and help signal the brain.

The research team found blue light exposure created poisonous chemical molecules that killed photoreceptor cells

"It's toxic. If you shine blue light on retinal, the retinal kills photoreceptor cells as the signaling molecule on the membrane dissolves," said Kasun Ratnayake, a Ph.D. student researcher working in Karunarathne's cellular photo chemistry group. "Photoreceptor cells do not regenerate in the eye. When they're dead, they're dead for good."

However, the researchers found a molecule called alpha-tocopherol, which comes from Vitamin E, can help prevent cell death, according to Futurism.

The researchers plan to review how light from TVs, cellphones and tablet screens affect the eyes as well.

"If you look at the amount of light coming out of your cellphone, it's not great but it seems tolerable," said Dr. John Payton, visiting assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "Some cellphone companies are adding blue-light filters to the screens, and I think that is a good idea."

Indeed, Apple released a Night Shift mode two years ago to help quell blue lights strain on the eyes, according to The Verge. The screen will dim into a warmer, orange light that will cause less stress on the eyes.
