Hi peace- The book sounds interesting. Hopefully I am understanding your post correctly...let me know if I'm not. I am sure that telling your spouse that you will stand for the M regardless of what they do, will take pressure off of them...but wow...I don't think I could follow through with that one. Now as far as not being able to push our buttons, I think that is a great way to show our spouses that we have grown and accept them for who they are.
Let me know if the book is worth getting. I am always looking for more information to help get me through this.
