Are you my wife? Because this sounds like something she would say! ;) We just argued last week because I had forgotten to arrange a date night we so desperately need!

I truly appreciate this comment. It means a lot to be validated, though I don't particularly need it from anyone outside of myself. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak, when she looks at me and I know we are going to be ok. It's completely counter-intuitive to learn to work on yourself to help your relationship, and that's why men struggle so hard with it I think.
