<B>Sheba</B><P>Great thread. I will really have to put my thinking cap on to figure out some answers to this one though.

(notice the wide toothed grin? It is really being forced! LOL) One of his emotional needs is "domestic support." Another way to put it is "Acts of Service" as explained by Gary Chapman, author of the "Five Love Languages." Meanwhile I will be thinking of nominees.<P>There really are so very many of them though. My head is already reeling just trying to think of them all.<P><B>Sheba and Butterfly, you both are really truly huge blessings from God. Thanks for being you, and being here! </B>
