Excellent points. I know that when I make the top of my own list - my H definately finds me more interesting than when I am focusing too intently on him. That is provided that I am doing positive things for myself - not just complaining about things like work issues etc... My H would definately place God in the #1 spot on his list, thus putting me a distant third behind the kids or maybe fourth behind work. My own list changes in terms of priority as I see things that need attention. Is anyone else here familiar with their Myers Briggs type? I do think that this comes into play here. I think in all cases there are many factors in play and not all them can be neatly labeled in terms of HD and LD. That is why a person can be LD in one relationship and HD in another.
