Ask your wife this question to show her you care.
As I said to the man at the conference, when your wife realizes that you actually are listening and trying to pay attention, she will respond well to the question: Honey, how can I focus on what matters most to you? As you get used to asking this, she’ll start to prioritize what she shares. And you’ll realize that choosing to care has a high return on investment. Expressing your interest and your concern about her will ultimately bring peace to your relationship and create a more tension-free day-to-day for you both.
