Confessions



In the evening solitude of each other's company and our darkened bedroom I expressed to Angie all that I had been thinking, and my own epiphany, regarding our relationship. I admitted that much of the blame for the growing distance between us lay with me for being more concerned about my career than the thing that was really important: our marriage. As I fumbled at first trying to say what I meant, Angie looked on with a puzzled and worried expression because she didn't understand immediately what I was driving at. But it all came out, and I apologized for how I had been behaving for the last several years. I committed to her right then to make a change in myself, and to put her and our relationship above all else. I told her what I had read about Worshipping Your Wife, and how much that resonated with my state of mind. It was something of a shock for her since I never opened up like this before in all the 30-something years she's known me. But as she pondered what I said she became openly relieved and joyous. For me, it was like a burden was lifted, and I felt....well, energized. I still feel that way. I have not looked back since, Angie is happier than ever before........and sex is pretty darn good these days.
