I don't want to be admired. I want to be known. "Known" used there in much the same way that MWD uses "heard" when discussing listening to one's spouse.
Appreciated Seen Heard Understood Loved Accepted
I agree SP. I want to share with my wife what I am doing, learning, letting go of and looking forward to.

Quote:
Why is it that people get married? Because we need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet. What does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything… The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, All of it… all the time, every day. You’re saying “Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed - because I will be your witness.” Wife in the movie, "Shall We Dance?" 2004
Cheers
