As the Bolt Turns

[Bolt]

Heyall, I'm not going anywhere for a while for sure. It's a long process and we all need encouragement from each other.

I will say, give your spouse the thing they are looking for. ESPECIALLY if she isn't asking for it.

It will pay you back more than you can imagine.

Last night, I gave the W tons of space. She wasn't feeling well and she really just wanted to chill by herself. Old Bolt would have tried to "solve" her problem by being around too much, thinking I was helping.

By giving her space, I knew that she would be more receptive the next day.

I didn't have to wait that long.

I slipped into bed around 9:30 (hey, I'm getting old), and she instantly rolled over and put her arm around me. This hasn't happened in some time - definitely not without me asking first. The coolest part is we both fell asleep that way.

The best sleep I've had in a long time.

This morning she reassured me that things were really looking good for us. She even told me that she felt that I've been neglecting my own writing work and encouraged me to get back on that horse.

All I can say to that is Wow!

It gave me so much desire and gumption to continue with my life's work - both personal and relationally.

everyone, please put in the time to make the R work for the VERY least yourself. If you do that, your spouse will see that and maybe - just maybe - be more interested in you than before.

Like I said, I'm not going anywhere.
