Women, I assure you all husbands feel like this. Its ironic that my life would improve if I just got "Not Tonight, Dear …" instead of "the ball game is on", "I don't feel like it", "Thats not who I am", "I think the Dog doesn't feel good", "I'm too tired from church meetings". At least I wouldn't be crushed everytime.

I am so glad to hear that this is not just a problem that I face in my marriage!! After finally getting both our two year old, and our two month old to bed, and both asleep; here I am on the computer killing time and avoiding going to bed with my husband and playing defense! I am embarrassed to admit it, but I am also exhausted and resent having to meet his needs after meeting everyone's needs all day long. How do we get to this place where we avoid eye contact, dodge kisses and think up excuses before our husbands even ask? I will be taking it to the Lord in prayer, thank you for the article, it has given me validation and conviction.

So on target! This area of our marriage is dead! When that happens neither one wants to "go first" in beginning to fix it. Hurts, anger and fear fill that area of our marriage. Prayer is the only way to start down the road of healing. Most women may feel frustrated in hearing the healing can start with them taking the first step not their husband...I know, I know...but so many pieces of this article are right on! We became so focused on being Mom and Dad, we forgot about Husband and Wife! With prayer and some focus on my wife's needs it will all come together, likely stronger then ever now that we have matured in the Lord over the past years. PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
