I can only speak for myself, but my (albeit limited) time on this forum has been the opposite of a waste. Granted, my marriage wasn't a long-term disaster to begin with. But I found so many tools here. I'm 90% sure this is where I was introduced to Passionate Marriage, which has changed my whole life in ways that had nothing to do with my sex life (although that has *really* improved too. Out of all recognition.) The concept of differing love languages (Five Love Languages) was what finally broke through to my husband re: my craving for touch. Just reading posts from such an intelligent, articulate, diverse, humorous, kind group of people who aren't afraid to wield 2x4s has been a revelation. Mojo's zoo has provided a model for me that I've been using a lot in my life of late, even today when I brought out the lioness when the situation warranted it. I am SO glad I found this place and let me take this opportunity to say a very heartfelt thanks to all.
