04-19-2010 After my 24 hour shift I went home and to bed. I woke at 10:30am and went towards the bathroom, running into my wife on the way. I gave her a great big smile and a hug and told her "good morning, my beautiful wife". She smiled and...

04-18-2010 This is a tough day as I am a jealous person. I think that comes from a lack of self-confidence and a lower self-esteem. This jealous streak is something that I have been fighting for years and occasionally rears it's ugly head worse than...

04-16-2010 This was actually a pretty easy dare. My list of positive attrributes for my wife was long enough to go into a second column. I, actually, compliment on some of these often and not just the easy ones. The negative list was tough to write, and...

04-14-2010 Where do I add margin to my schedule? My schedule actually has me home quite a bit. A year ago I had the full-time job, part time teaching 4 days/week and the photography on the weekends. I was swamped and weeks would go by with me not having...

04-11-2010 Day 3 has been the easiest so far. I am at work for a 24 hour shift. I felt yesterday was good and followed up by getting her a book she has been wanting. I left it on the computer desk with a note that said, "thinking of you, thought...

04-10-2010 - Today was the kindness dare. I spent the morning walking downtown with my daughter as part of her photography class. I left the house before my wife woke so we didn't have time to communicate before I left. I got home just after noon...

04-09-2010 - so day was pretty easy. I held my tongue and didn't say anything negative, argumentative to my wife. I was patient. I started the day with a friend for breakfast and met my wife at martial arts class at noon. We had a quick greeting,...

Where do I start? I have been happily married for the last 7 years to my soul mate, my best friend and person that I was convinced would be with me forever. We have known each other for 15 years and have 4 wonderful children. In the past few years I have...
