Newbie, need help with WAW!

[180Man]

Just finished church. I watched online (they stream it) so I wouldn't run into my wife in case she went. Our meeting is tomorrow, so I figured there's no reason to preempt it.

Anyways, not here to proselytize AT ALL. That's not my style by a long shot. Could care less what anyone else's religion or beliefs are unless they're causing harm. Anyways... I thought it was especially timely ahead of my meeting with my wife tomorrow for the pastor's message to be about listening. Just thought I would share for anyone stumbling across this who may be in a similar boat: Matthew 13:9: Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.

That's it, he talked about active listening with your spouse and with God a couple of the passages after that one. I just thought it was a great message delivered right on time for me.

So anyways, still open to feedback before I meet with her tomorrow night. I know at this point I probably know everything I need to know and just need to stop over-thinking it. I'll be fine. Got clean clothes, great haircut, clean car, positive mental attitude (mostly!), and I'm going to do my best to listen, understand, validate, set boundaries for myself if certain topics come up, not confuse validation with agreement, avoid letting her know what I'm thinking, and be the one to end the conversation and leave on my own timeline. I got this shít!
