Respond To Your Wife’s Care And Concern By Taking The First Step
If your wife is showing signs of frustration, it’s probably because she’s afraid of losing you. If you need to take better care of yourself, take a deep breath and force yourself to take one step at a time. Ask your wife for one or two little things you could do that would make a big difference to her. Maybe it’s changing your eating habits for better nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight. Maybe it’s being willing to take a walk each night after dinner. Maybe it means you go to the doctor for your annual physical . . . and then follow his recommendations.
You certainly don’t need to accomplish something as big and overwhelming as a marathon or triathlon… but you do need to start. You might be surprised at the distance you cover in your relationship just by taking that first step!
