My H is very like you and some of my frustrations during the old M were about his lack of understanding of my love language. We're still working on it. I want him to make plans for dates all on his own, start to finish because it means he's thinking about ME and what fills my tank.
It's good that you're "getting it", just take care not to use it as a tactic and drop it as things possibly improve in your M. When you do things in her love language you are touching her soul.
It's important.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
