Quick Background Info:
I've been married to my wife for going on nine years. I know, you're impressed already. Me too. Now, if you've been married for any length of time past the Margarita-fueled love fest that was your honeymoon, you're doing well for yourself. Let's face it, keeping a marriage going is not as easy as the Hollywood celebrities make it look. It actually involves some significant effort—like maintaining a vehicle. It's easy at first, but before you know it, you've gone 6000 miles without so much as an oil change. And once you start neglecting the routine maintenance, you are heading for a major breakdown.*

Sound familiar ladies? Well, that was me. Yet another lazy, selfish husband neglecting his wife.

So, after the BIG TALK with the Mrs. (guys you know where I'm coming from), I decided to take action.

It's time for me to start pursuing my wife again with a fresh, romantic perspective. You know what I'm talking about— flowers, surprises, poetry, more listening, more attention to her needs, more attention to my personal hygiene— in short, the works.

That said, I invite you to follow along and see what happens. You can root for me to succeed or hope that I fall on my face and end up a humiliated heap of blubbering emasculation. Enjoy!

*Don't worry. I promise not to use any more mechanical analogies. Just trying to make a simple point. Now, let's talk about our feelings.
