Thanks, that #1 issue is the most important, I've been married 26 years, and know my husband for 31+ years, our communication really would be great, if "he" was a more attentive listener, ha!ha!
Relationships are more work than a full time job
Good luck and please let us know how it all goes.

Take care now,
