When you want your wife to do something for you, you should communicate it to her very directly and in detail. But ASK her for her help, do not demand it.

You are entitled to your own expectations of what a marital relationship should be. But this needs to be explained and talked about BEFORE you get married, ideally. But the sooner you have these kinds of conversations with her the better. Talk about your feelings, expectations & goals for the future, and ask what hers are. She is not a mind reader, nor are you. Communication is very important.

No one can be another person's "everything." We are all in this world alone. We can share, we can communicate, we can live together. But still we each, as human beings, experience life from our own unique perspective & experience. We can expect that we will let others down no matter how much we love them. Just as others will let us down no matter how much they love us. None of us are perfect, no two people are always on the same wavelength at the same time.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
