Had a telephone coaching session today. Really helped me with a game plan:

- Do what works:
-- Active Listening
-- Distract and Deflect from potentially explosive R talks
-- Night out together w/o kids once a week
-- Holding her when she's upset (I know, but it is something she interprets as love)

-Stop doing what is not working:
-- trying to force or pressure
-- getting her to see my side of things

Also, I will be reading Gary Chapman's 5 love languages, using the relationship wheel and see if I can get her to watch Fireproof with me.

We will see how it goes.
