Jenna - I think you two will succeed together if you can both allow each other to go within yourselves as needed. Just remember the honeymmon always ends. I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean that euphoria passes and then you need to live by the new foundation the two of you have built. If you have time read The Five Love Languages. Its an easy read but well worth it for both of you to read, and its' not a bad read for a guy either. It's not gay or anything. You may have to tell him that first.
Please go to my thread for today "DB'ing is sooooo hard (part 3) and read the things Mach1 said to me. I think this will help you with your fear, and your desire to not be a slave to it.
