Normally I do not say this. But I really think you should go out there and buy a thank you card.
And sit down and write out every single thing she does for you in a day , week , year and thank her for each and everyone of them.
Then call her parents , brother , sister what ever and tell them what a wonderful woman she is.
Then sit your children down and explain to them all the wonderful things your wife does.
Then take one week. And do something nice for her. Each and every member of the family and pamper her for a week. By doing one act of service each day.
Add that to the 5 love languages and see where it goes. Actions Actions Actions my friend.
And I can totally understand A) and B) So instead of talking about her looks for the next little while say how you love her differently.
She cooks a nice meal. Compliment it. She cleans the house. Compliment it. She says hello. Compliment her eyes and show her with your eyes you love her. Think about something wonderful you both shared and then look her in the eyes and smile and say hello back.
And you need to get over this 100% my type. You married her. Find what you love about her and let that grow. And treat her as a woman.
If you disagree with her on something neither of you are right or wrong. You have a difference of opinion. Learn how to resolve conflicts peacefully. If it is something that is extremely important to you core. Then simply state that you will not wavier on your choice. And do not.
Love is a choice. If you love show it.
I agree, your wife sounds like her LL is WOA.
One of the best thing I did while seperated was compliment and praise my wife in front of a room of people. I meant it and she appreciated it. One of her LL is WOA.
