Unfortunately, a therapist can't train you to love your wife and prioritize her happiness.

If I should prioritize her happiness, should she in turn prioritize mine? Who ultimately gets priority and why? - OP[/quote]

Yes, she should prioritize your happiness as well. This is what normal couples do: they try to make eachother happy.

When you check out and your relationship devolves to "screw her, I'm not doing X...I don't care what she wants, etc." then your marriage is pretty much toast.

Now I'm sure you'll post back with, "Then I win!"

Here's where you are failing to recognize that you haven't had to make any sacrifices. She moved to you, she accommodates you and your parents, etc. Now it's time for you to man up and do something that makes her happy.

Sadly, I don't think you can. I think your personality is such that you constantly keep score. And I think you are incapable of putting her needs first.

Are you an only child? If not, are you the oldest? [/quote]
