Thanks for the reply and the encouragement. I will check out the site and the two books. You are absolutely right - I owe her patience now.
You also like what you said about filling my ex's love tank. That is so true and I've been trying to learn how to really love her in a way where she can feel love. That is always a learning process and I am always happy for recommendations on books, techniques, etc for how to better demonstrate love. It amazes me how when we first fall in love with someone, how we really try to learn how to please and make the other person happy. Then as time goes, we stop trying and become complacent. I once read that excellence is a pursuit and not a place. I think the same thing applies to love and marriage. We must always be in pursuit of trying to create greater love, greater joy and greater happiness in our relationships.
