note to self
dear self,
we both know that you love your wife, but you need to remember that it's about HOW you love her. it's that whole love-languages thing. you may feel loved when she does something practical for you (like cleaning the kitchen or something), but that doesnt mean she gets all warm and fuzzy when you do the dishes for her. she appreciates it, sure, but she's gotta feel the love.
it's the big things as well as the little. pray and read with her. take some initiative. write her love notes. just remember, simply taking care of her needs doesnt equal showing her love. be a blessing to her.

Sounds like you've got the idea. Somebody must've given you good advice.

It's hard to get past yourself to love someone like they want to be loved. It's an odd blend of humility and confidence. The nice thing is that it's getting easier with time and practice.
