DYK I can't believe I get to start this thread? 


DYK it's still March 31 st here and only 9 pm, but it's April 1st according to the board b/c it's on a different time zone?


DYK I am excited to start April...I want it to be my most active month yet.

DYK those are issues we've worked a lot on?

DYK I make sure that I don't second guess what he does? How can I expect him to help out if I'm constantly complaining about how he does things? It took awhile to get to that place but life has been easier since learning to let some of those things go.

DYK I've found that time management is something we BOTH work at. I think in our house it's not just me having to work to manage time, he has to do the same to give me time away. We found that it works best when we are honest with each other and ASK when we need time. I think this is a normal issue for couples who have children.

dyk the I'm nots are just the areas I need to work on


dyk there was a lot of information. lol


dyk most of it was about being a complement like you said and just supporting and encouraging our husbands and being open minded to how husbands are different and have different pressures and needs.

DYK I'm not sure if I made any sense before.


DYk i read this book off and on about being a "help meet"


DYk her point is -- you are a helper, meet (suited for) his needs. Not husbands in general, not men in general, but the one man you are married to.


DYK so meet his needs. Don't make it complicated.

DYK you make some excellent points?

DYK a marriage is always a work in progress?

DYK I think as long as both people in the marriage feel like the other takes their feelings, wishes and goals into account things will be ok?

DYK Geo and I have to work on not being selfish.


dYK he pours out to patients all day and I pour out to children


DYK we meet up on the couch at about 8pm, both drained emotionally and wanting from each other, not always wanting to give to each other?


dYK but goodness, he has been such a sweetie lately.


DYK like you say, it waxes and wanes.

DYK ok, now that you're all here to play with, I need to get to bed?

DYK I may be back, but I hope not?

DYK this nasal spray better keep my passages clear so I can lay down and breathe at the same time?

DYK I don't want to be up all night like last night?

DYK "see" you all in the morning? :)

dyk yes, that makes sense but in those areas of "I'm not" his needs aren't being met.
