In theory, most of the things that you describe are good things to do. The one problem I have with the "GAL" routine, is that effectively, the "GAL" routine is trying to make a HD into a LD. Everything in the "GAL" routine is intended to steer away from sex, in effect, to become LD. This would be wonderful if you are LD, but we are not. What is happening is that the LD spouse is tired of being the source of our happiness, so they want us to be able to take care of our own needs more. So what does "GAL" really mean then? The only way for a HD to "GAL" is to actually CHEAT on our spouses. People that "CHEAT" on their spouses are essentially "Getting a life". Afterall, what is the point of life if you have no lover? Jobs, career, hobbies, friends, and yes even family are secondary focuses in life, the primary focus is ALWAYS the love of your life (at least fo many HD's). I suspect for many LD's this is NOT true.
