You are getting some momentum going in the right direction.
Keep it going.
Make sure you mention to her that you liked the drive and the talk... .
Might want to focus on what you do like in marriage... .or what you would like to see... .instead of telling her what you DON'T like. That could be seen as invalidating... .or criticizing
This is good news.
Refocus on lessons... and using them... .to help momentum keep going correctly.
One thing I have learned in this marriage is that if I am giving and caring, she will pull away. If I tell her that I liked the drive and our talk, she will pull away.
If I just live my life as though the marriage doesn't matter, she will revalue me.
I will review the lessons.
