JMHO, maybe she wants to see a little fight out of you. Maybe she wants you to fight for her, and the marriage, and not because the Bible tells you so, but because it is what you WANT. You WANT her. God will always comes first, but just maybe he could quietly come first, and #2 could get some sunshine.
Hope I haven't offended you, I just know what I'd like to see out of my own husband.
