FaithfulH, you are absolutely right! Last night as I was driving the girls over to our house I was thinking "wait I'm looking at this all wrong, look how far we've come, we have weekly lunch "dates", family dinners, Friday night movies. 12 months ago, even 6 months ago she wanted none of this!"
So we had dinner last night at 'our' house. She prepared a great meal. (Yes I thanked her greatly for it.) Then she wanted to put up the Christmas tree. So we did that as a family and we all had a great time. Finally when it was time for me to leave she walked me to the door and yep gave me a hug. A hug she initiated.
One note we did have a short relationship conversation after dinner while I did the dishes. It was an offshoot of a financial discussion. Nothing deep or such more a clarification discussion on love languages, counselors and activities we each are doing. It was good for both of us to get some clarification on these things in a positive open manner.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
