Episode 264: Energy And Roots

When there are a number of things that are feeling raw and exposed, where to start? We have conflict in my marriage over where I spend my time and energy when I have some to give. If I think about my energy like the bars in a battery, I have to be judicious about how to use my energy bars. The decisions I make about my energy, have impacts on and implications for my wife. Should I use my energy helping around the house? Being intimate with her? When I make decisions about my energy without including her, I take those decisions away from her. Communicating together rather than unilaterally deciding is part of our "bare root" work.
