After Seven Years We Are Still Struggling With This
Author: siggyAfter seven years my wife and I are still struggling with this. I get up before her and have sufficient time to wake up and slide into my day. I usually get up two or three hours before her. I have my own routine to greet my day.
Unfortunately my wife often does not have a chance to do the same. When she gets up I am usually revved and wide awake. I don’t know how many times my wife has lost her temper at me because I did not permit her time to get up and awake and would not stop talking to her.
Then my feelings are hurt. And it may takes hours for us to recover from that. I have suggested she go to the office and do her devotionals there and wait until she is ready for company.
She would indicate this by then entering the living room. Of course I would leave her alone while she is in the office. I have suggested this before. I am hoping she tries this out. I do not know why this is so hard to work this out between the two of us. We will see.
