I've noticed that I say "No" to my wife every time she has a request or wants to do something. In the beginning, I was more open to her ideas & everything but now I'm extremely resistance & just want to be by myself on the computer. I think my behavoir is getting in the way of us having a great relationship. I'm thinking of using Doc Love's technique saying "No" once a month but I'll say Yes to everything else just so I can have some structure because I'm no good at this marriage stuff. Almost, like I have a "No" card & I can only use it once a month. I remember writing to Doc Love awhile back & he told me that when you get married, you lose half of your freedom...What are your guy's thoughts on all this?

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
