So I had my phone a coach session today and they gave me some homework questions to ask my wife. "What frustrates her the most about me? How does she see me as a husband? What's the most painful thing I ever did?..." Those kinds of questions.

Initially, she would only talk during commercials (this was after we put the kids down). Then finally she turned the TV off altogether and we talked for a good 30 minutes or more. I don't know that anything was solved, but it was good to talk. When we talk and communicate life is better.

I still don't think either one of us has said, "I love you," since before my first post.
