Twenty-eight years of trying to encourage my bride to dialog with me using the WWME model, of reassuring her that the writing skills she disdains are indeed more than adequate for expressing her heart and sharing herself with me, and a challenge she found on FB has accomplished what I have not been able to. It's a one-week challenge, apparently, so who knows what will happen afterward, but I intend to enjoy and make the most of this opportunity for us to grow together.
I found another note on my pillow last night. Rather than walking back downstairs to thank her for it, I picked up pen and paper and left her one in return. Then, since I was facing her side of the bed, it was all I could do to keep from grinning when she came to bed, as she first put away some clothes, put on her pj's, and took care of her bathroom time before noticing it. I peeked when she returned to the hallway to read it, and could tell even with her back toward me that she was touched. I so very wanted her to be, as she has definitely helped me to feel her love so tangibly over these past few days.
