I woke up today and asked my dad if I could visit her. He said (gasp!), yes. So I went up to visit her. She was talking to a counselor at her new church. I went in and got to meet the counselor, and spoke for a bit. It was a nice big church, seemed to be good. Much better than her previous church. In my opinion. Actually, as long as she stays here at the present church for awhile, I think it will be good. Then if she goes back to whatever church that is fine. But I feel we should be willing to try different churches out to see what fits us and where we fit in.

We then went to...Friendly's and had a nice meal and I informed her about the Weapons of Mass Destruction. If I keep eating as well as I have, I will soon be a WMD. I explained which countries had nuclear weapons, and about the Kurds, and North Koreans. Surprisingly, she listened and found it interesting. That is a huge turn on. That makes me excited.

Oddly enough, she was not herself. And I felt strange. And she then started to point out a few of my faults. I was somewhat upset, and she had to work at 5:30 pm, so I left to go home. By the time I got home, my parents were up and the whole argument started again. Although this time it seemed to be a bit more restrained than usual. The arguments were exactly the same. They are still not disputing that it is God's will, although my dad did say he thought there was a "question mark" regarding it. So I left very upset, and sat down at the computer, and was watching the Yankees. Then she called and hung up. So I called her back and told her I would call her in one hour. I lifted weights and ran a mile. There was a skunk in the shadows of my normal route, so I ran it backwards and fortunately the skunk was gone by the time I got back. I had to run peering at every shadow, cause I am terrified of getting sprayed by a skunk. But hey, maybe my parents would let me stay with her at her place! She wouldn't want me either, not if I smelled like a skunk.

Anyhow I called her back and we talked and talked. I got her to understand how I was hurt, and I explained to her that PERHAPS because she has been in some difficult relationships in the past, that she is resisting getting close to me. She was mulling it over, even as we hung up. It may not be true but it is relevant, and will help us to understand human behavior, if not our own.

We ended up closer and more intimate with each other than in a long time. It was a blessed time. It shows me how special she is, and what a wonderful wife she will make. It is all about love and understanding. I was ready to give up and hang up the phone, but she was patient and we are reconciled again.
