Get up early?...that is dangerous for me [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Also it would be easier to POJA if we held the same view of the priority of our relationship.<P>I think we both feel it is the most important earthly relationship.<P>But, my H by his nature and personality, does not follow that priority with the necessity of nurturing it to the same degree as I do.<P>His view of our marriage is it just is, today, tomorrow and always.<P>Although that is very endearing, it does not give much urgency to day to day or week or week nuturing.<P>Still, I think we are actually POJAing more often than I think, when things are going well, at least.<P>When we get out of sync or when I get thrown into one of my fear episodes, it doesn't go as well.<P>What made your H realize your relationship had this kind of day to day priority?

Remember he was in-love with OW. I stood firm on my belief that we could not have the kind of relationship he wanted with the yummy feelings without him making it a priority.<P>Interesting, the book also talks about the one with the least desire for intimacy controlling the relationship. Wonder what he gives as the answer to that?
