Thanks Aud for the kind words. I have a smile on my face this morning though, so my patience paid off:)
Ellie, I think that he is both a acts of service and a words of affirmation person. He was always crazed when I did not "do" things (clean, make phone calls, etc...), and I really believe that this means love to him b/c of his family background. However, I also believe that he likes to hear words of encouragement, thanks, and especially respect. I am working hard to do these things.
I was also heartened last night by the fact that there is something that my husband really wants to do, but when the opportunity came up, he waited to speak with me first so that we could decide together. That meant a great deal to me b/c at times during this process, I have felt that my feelings are at the very bottom of the priority list.
