Lisa, I think that's one of Michele's all time favorite topics about what is love, or infatuation. It's one of the 7 greatest fallicies of M's, if I recall correctly. You can always go back and read that section again. Remember, you can't talk your H into it. The teacher will come when the student is ready. Go about your business, be there when H needs/wants you/asks for you. Do what works. This is still a journey, I don't know if there's ever an end. It would be rather boring if there were I guess. Hey, and Happy Birthday, Happy Valentine's Day. Maybe you can jump your H's bones for your b-day, give it to him any way he likes it, wink,wink... I'm being a little responsive to the column at the right "Boosting Their Marital Libido". That's a time when we are very connected to the H; did you ever hear men give love to have sex, women give sex to get love? In other words, men tend to feel more loving after they have sex, women the opposite. So, you still have work to do I guess, this may be a how-to. SS
