Diana, I'm so glad the book helped and that he was willing to read it and act accordingly!
I think it's a good thing when we fertilize our relationships every once in a while to keep them interesting and growing.

Aww, Diana, what a sweet hubby you have! I'm so glad he did so many things to surprise you! Maybe you could do something special for him in return. I'm sure that would really make his day.

I've also read the Five Love Languages with my husband. We read it together before we got married and took the quizzes that tell you what your love language is. I think it has been a great asset to our marriage and I too recommend it for anyone!

That is the sweetest bouquet I think I've ever seen. It comes from the heart. I'm happy that you're feeling better about things. It really helps when they put forth an effort.

I've really been having a hard time with my marriage, but some subjects are just too hard to post out in the open. My husband is a really wonderful man, he's very loving and very giving. The book really helped me to realize why I wasn't happy or feeling loved. My need is for quality time and I've never felt that he had time for me. Hopefully things are going to get better with us. I truly married my best friend and as I said, thing are going to get better.

I am so happy you've found something to work for you and your marriage. I wish so much that I hadn't posted so much about my marriage in an open forum...but hey, I've learned my lesson. I'm not going to do that anymore unless something happens that I have to let it out or burst...lol. I'm such an open book to my friends and family, that I forget what kind of impression it leaaves with people who don't really know me...like on an open forum. Live and learn. Hopefully, I've learned.
