GoFo,

Wow...you've come a long way, buddy! Those talks are good as they encourage you to feel safe and bond together as spouses in a united way.

Perhaps you can ask W for some solution-oriented methods to keep your M fun and find the right balance between the two of you in planning activities. Take turns to plan dates, vacations, and outings. So that way one doesn't feel overly burned with the planning and coordinating logistics. Make sense?

For goodness sake, go and buy a coupon book with kisses, massages, etc. I did that with Ms. Wonka which helped with our bond (this was pre-MLC for me).

Are you sure that you're straight?! grin For what's worth, women do like receiving compliments on their dress/outfit. I'll give you that one!
