He didn't see the need behind hers The need for courage The desire for respect The struggle for greater strength. She desired him. He needed her desire.

5 ways to make more time each day
Ever wish we had a 3 day weekend or more hours in the day? Of course you have. We all have. Probably almost every day or week. Just a little extra time to sleep. Just a little extra time to spend time with family. Or writing that novel. Exercise to get that pre-baby body back. ...
