Okay, no problem, I'm pretty dense too. It's how most of us men are wired, that's why we get into so much trouble with women. We're real good at changing a flat tire, but we're not too good at reading our women. Men are from Mars Women from Venus, by John Grey is a great book.
Here's a "play" example. Your W is coming home in a few days. You know how tense it's gonna be the first time you see her. So how will you handle that? What's your play going to be? Are you going to meet her at the door wearing nothing but an apron? I don't suggest that. So then what? Touch basis with your coach, God, and let Him help you call the play. Be quiet, and listen carefully to Him.
Every sitch, every person is different. Every interaction you have with your W is basically a play on the field. It's a game bro. You've got to equip yourself properly, practice, work out, the whole nine yards. Look at every interaction, every communication as a play. If you listen to her venting and keep quiet, and validate her feelings, that's a play and you gain yardage. If you try to fix it for her, or jump on the defense, that's a play, and you'll likely loose yardage. Get it?
You'll win the game one step at a time, one play at a time. Don't watch the clock, don't keep calling the same plays that don't work. Find the plays that do work and keep calling them.
And never give up!
Love,
COG
