I, too was guilty of this and I still have to make sure that I give my wife and kids my everything. Prior to my separation I gave work every bit of energy I had and by the time I got home I was spent. I would walk in, sit on the couch, watch t.v, answer business calls whenever my phone rang, would half listen to my kids about their days and wouldn't hardly listen to my wife about her day, and then I would find something to complain to wife about with dinner or something not being picked up in the house.

This totally describes me as well. I have to admit that I cried and still crying as I type this message. I always give 110% at work because I want to be known to be the best at my job. I've gotten promoted because of this. My wife stood by my side and she always encouraged me to be the best. At times, when I get so tired from working all day and going to school at night, I get so stressed out that I sometimes took it out on her or never appreciated the meals that she prepared for me when I got home. I feel like a J.A. but I'm doing something about it. I've been reading a lot of Christian influenced books on how to become a Godly man, husband and father. A lot of the books that I've read showed me the mistakes that I've made looking back. He is right, the little things do add up. I made a decision to be a better husband and father to my kids...Godly husband and father. Thank you. I agree with you. This totally describes me as well.

Thank you for sharing. I, too, have been guilty of giving my left-overs to my family. I was actually convicted about this over a week ago - then I was directed to your site by my wife. She is so right. I want her to know that I am changing everything. Thank you for your ministry. Thank you for sharing. I, too, have been guilty of giving my left-overs to my family.

My wife and I just graduated from college and got married last summer, and after only a few months in the world of work and bills we began giving each other little more than our "left overs." We became aware of the trouble relatively soon and have been taking more time to cultivate joy and intimacy in our daily lives since then, but I enjoyed reading your thoughtful post because it serves as encouragement for us to continue giving each other our best. Wishing the two of you all the happiness in the world, Crystal My recent post <a href="http://thelovelettersproject.wordpress.com/2010/04/11/im-tired-of-having-to-make-a-case-for-myself/" target="_blank">I’m Tired of Having to Make a Case for Myself</a> Hi Justin and Trisha,
