I got another hint from W. While I was cooking last night, she mentioned it would be great if "someone" (uh, that would be me) would just shoo her out of the kitchen and do all of the clean-up. This sounds like what you do for your wife Baggy. I can tell I won't be a gourmet cook so this will be another act of service to show my support for her. Hopefully it will help make up for my poor cooking skills too.

I never realized recovering my M would be such hard work. Going into it you think, "Ah this will be easy, make a few changes here and there, get W on board and poof... perfect marriage." We all know it doesn't work that way and it is constant work to even maintain it once you get there. I have to keep reminding myself of this so I won't get discouraged whenever there is a misstep or crisis to overcome.

I want to do this for myself and my family and most of all for her. She deserves to have all that I can give to her.
