I just re-read my post and I meant that I want my marriage BACK not lack. Ha.
Perhaps you talking for a living is part of the problem. You say you present to large audiences. That isn't exactly conversation. You talk and they listen. It needs to be the other way around. What is something that your W usually does that you don't know much about? Ask her about it. Tell her you're trying to learn XYZ for whatever reason. Dumb example here: My H and I have his/her lawn mowers. Mine is an old-fashion reel mower (I've been afraid of gas mowers for some reason.) and his is a gas mower. The reel mower doesn't work too well on our lawn, though it used to do a great job at our old house on it's much better lawn. Now that H isn't around as much, I'd like to be able to make the lawn look nice. I asked him to show me how it worked. Ta Da! H felt like "the man" and I learned something from him. He's not the handiest of guys, I'm handier, so it was a good 180.
Get that OM out of your head!!!
