She deserves better and SHOULD have been treated like a princess. There was nothing, and I mean nothing, she did in our marriage that made me do and say the things that I did.
I took advantage of her good nature, her kindness and she put up with it for a long time.
I have always told friends, family, coworkers, anyone that would listen, that she is one of the few truly good hearted people I have ever met in my life. I do not believe I ever told her that, though.
She is a princess and if I lose her, I will have no one to blame but myself...simple.
Again, incredibly powerful, moving, and accurate words. You are seeing things her so very well.
She is a princess.
She deserves your best. And now you're finally giving it to her.
This is no longer about you and what you want. This is what I meant by DYING to your self. You are irrelevant. SHE is what matters. Good God, isn't that how ALL of us are SUPPOSED to treat our wives? How many of us would be HERE if we had done this for and to our spouses?
Die to self.
Love her unconditionally.
You have no rights, except to love her with every fiber of your being.
Everything you do, I mean EVERYTHING you do every day is done with thoughts of her and her well being in mind.
Without realizing it, you are slowly but surely becoming the man she thought she married all those years ago.
Blessings,

Bill,
With all due respect, I could not disagree more. "YOU are irrelevant; SHE is what matters"??? Man, and people say that I am too "anti-DB" sometimes . . .
We ARE commanded to love our wives unconditionally, as they are commanded to respect US unconditionally. But we're not commanded to treat them like princesses, nor is it healthy.
