Sandi, Thanks so much for writing that out a second time. Your words make so much sense and coming from the perspective of a woman, it's more reassuring.
As a man, I will never truly understand the mind and heart of a woman. You are so right when you say that women are complex. So having it come from you means more.
You know what's so odd sandi, I used to HATE that complexity. It can sometimes make things hard. But now not only do I embrase it, I appreciate it, I love it. The heart of a woman is so much deeper then that of a man. This process make you admire it so much more.
While we were reading "Surrendering to Marriage", she made a comment that she would like to read, "Surrendering to Motherhood" (that was a few weeks ago). Well, it came today from Amazon ($9.00). But more than a gift, that $9.00 will show her that I listened to her. That what she says has value and I wasn't just a bump on a log blowing it off. I will leave it under the covers for when she goes up to bed to read.
I won't lie to the posters here, I do have some anger that will need to be resolved at some point. But I have WAY more love then anger...
Everything happens for a reason... This was definately my 2x4 to my noggin... And obviously, my wife was swinging for the bleechers. lol.
Thanks again Sandi. I believe you helpped many of us men with that post.
