Priorities.

I issued a challenge to David about a month ago for him to sit down and really think about what his priorities are. To search himself to find out what is important to him. As of yesterday he still has not done that.

I think it is important to know what your priorities are. I think that with knowing your priorities you know yourself better. Not only that but you know what you need to work on or work towards. For example, if one of my priorities was my family I would work harder to make sure that they were happy, healthy and well loved. If one of my priorities was money I would work harder at getting a job, making the money. Not that those examples are my priorities (well family is but not so much on the money part), I just wanted to give an example.

The reason I wanted David to sit down and write down his priorities is because I think he needs to know what is important to him. He needs some motivation in his life and unfortunately I am not able to give that to him. I also think he needs to rearrange some of his priorities before he looses some of the important things in life.

David has some wonderful qualities that make him an amazing man, on the other hand David has some horrible habits and traits that make the people closest to him feel like he does not care. I feel like he does not care most of the time because, even though he says it, he does not SHOW me he cares. I feel like he takes me for granted most of the time and disregards me the rest of the time. That is not a fair statement to make, there are times when he makes me feel like I am the most important person in his life but those times are becoming less and less frequent. 

I love my husband very much and I want to make him happy. I hope that I do make him happy. He is an extraordinary man and I try to treat him the best way I know how to. I hope he knows how much I love him and how much of a blessing he is for me, I also hope that he realizes how much of a blessing I am to him and how extraordinary I am as well. Love is not a one way street and keeping a relationship healthy should not rest only on one persons shoulders. I need his help to make our marriage work and he needs to move me and our marriage up on his priority list.
