          Hi Markfch,


          Perhaps you do not know your wifey's love language. Everyone of us has one or two primary love languages and a 'love tank' that needs to be filled up. But if we do not know our spouse's love language, we will not be able to fill up their love tank, thus leading to dissatisfaction and complaints in our marriage.

          I just posted \"What is Your Love Language?\" in my blog. Maybe you could have a read and see which 'love language' applies to your wife and which to you. Then you both can work towards a more satisfying marriage. šŸ˜‰

          DW ever mentioned to me that she rated me an 'A' as a father but 'C-' as a husband. Everything I do, I do it for ds. Occasionally my conscious will prick me and that's when I'll try to do something for dw.

          Recently I bought a $2k branded bag for dw and I felt the pinch, though I tried not to show it. But I'm sure if I were do the same for ds, I would feel very very happy. I'm not sure if it's a hainanese thing cos my father is also like that.

          Anyone else is guilty of the same sin?

            Thanks angelight. Just read your blog, very interesting. Btw, I'm not complaining at all. I think when we settle down with someone, the most impt criterion is that we are comfortable with the person we're settling down with. And I am extremely comfortable having dw alongside me.

            For me, I guess I expect affection in the form of a nice hot cup of coffee daily (service). And I show affection by buying gifts (material).

              Good for you, Markfch, now that you realise what your love language is. šŸ˜„


              Get your wife to determine her primary love language as well (it could be 1 or 2) and both of you can start applying it in your marriage, like me and DH.

                This is a mistake :stupid: I asked last night, and she replied \"what ?! After all these years, and yuo don't know my love language ?? :x \" . . . actually I don't even know what is \"love language\" let alone hers šŸ™

                  Sorry to hear that...maybe you can get the book by Gary Chapman and you and your wife can read together? Hope that helps.

                    Takes a bit of work and don't feel discouraged by an initial rebuff. It took a bit of prodding from myself over a period of time before my DW opened up, she was initially a little suspicious as to whether I was trying to get something from her.....
