What are you doing to work on yourself? I am exercising, being a better husband, and trying to become a better Christian. But I am really struggling with this one. I really like being home with my family (including my wife).
Sh, I brought this over from IronWill's thread to no hijack it.
So what are you struggling with? None of the things you've listed are mutually exclusive. Taking an hour or two to exercise doesn't prevent you from being home Nor does being a better husband or Christian.
Is it GAL in general? If so, you don't have to be out running around 24x7 to GAL. It just means that you have other things you are doing. Making sure you spend time with your kids should always supersede GAL. The biggest piece of GAL is to prevent you from smothering your WAS, following them around like a puppy dog, or sitting idle and stewing in your sitch.
Staying busy can include being home. Some of things I do to keep busy:
- Housework. W handles most things but there is always dusting, vacuuming, cleaning (windows anyone?) that can be done! - Yardwork. Another one that is rarely "done". - Cleaning the vehicles. Always a chance to vacuum, clean the windows, and detail the interior. - Cleaning my guns. I go to the range at least twice a month. Always a gun or two that needs to be cleaned. And it is always good to clean guns that have just been in the safe for a while. - Organizing a room or an area. Not sure about most of you but parts of my basement could always use a good organization! - Reading books. Never stop the self learning! - Will be opening the pool. That thing requires lots of maintenance!
My parents just hit 51 years of marriage. Looking back I think their marriage was successful, despite many mistakes by both of them, because my dad was ALWAYS busy. He was never sitting doing nothing when I was growing up.
