The houses that would be a “move up” in space and amenities were more than we wanted to spend. For the past several years my wife and I have been working to live below our means. To move would stretch us a little beyond where we want to be, not that we can’t afford it, but why try to afford it? Part of living within a simple marriage is to live simply. [...] [...] 2.

Growing spiritually, that one has been interesting. I have really been making the effort to grow spiritually. This has led to him growing more but I am still much more into it than he is. I keep reminding myself that he has grown sooo much (he use to call himself an atheist) but it seems that I keep moving further infront of him with this. I would really like him to be the spiritual leader of our house but he really isn't. I try (sorry Yoda) not to let that affect my view of him. I try to see his growth but I have to admit I get a little envious of couples who are more equally yoked and are putting Christ in the middle of their relationship. It is very attractive to me.

To this day, my wife still cannot read my mind, nor can I read hers. Maybe one day. Isn’t is amazing the response we get when we are specific.

I especially like the points about making suggestions and speaking up. Just stating the negative won't get you anywhere. My husband is a million percent more responsive (and happy) when I simply ask him to do something specific, rather than going on and on about something and waiting to see if he can figure out how to fix it.
