To have trust loyalty and more quality time
1: Sharing a space and place of residence that has longevity to it. She has wanted to set up our home everywhere we've lived for the past years and I've always seen the impending loss of the house and inevitable need to move. Be it two month or six. If we actually had a house and felt secure in it we'd both flourish in ways yet unseen.
2: Good communication. Whether it's conveying ourselves of receiving each others message, so much is made more difficult by misunderstanding. We both have needs

We both have needs not being met due to not being heard and not being understood.
3: money. 10K a year would change things a lot. She is perfect wife material and the real her comes out only in the best of conditions. That's why I work so hard. It's so rare that she blooms, it's worth the effort to see it just once.

if she didn't overreact and took a deep breath before reacting to my ridiculousness.
The two of us don't see eye-to-eye on some major issues, but I think the real problem is that we're not down to the deeper issues yet - something is driving our interactions and I'm not sure what it is. For my own life, the big one is how to be more comfortable with who I am.
