(((essie))) actually, teacherman on the BB recommended it to me. And then I recommended it to a friend who told me she had already recommended it to me months ago! (however I have no memory of this). I actually found passionate marriage to be totally fascinating... but still very slow going. Not that it was hard to read, just my brain would get sort of overloaded and I would need to put the book down after a couple pages. Very unusual for me since I am quite a book devour-er! But, honestly it was totally worth it. It helped me dig deeper than anything else I've read. Even just learning that expecting those closest to us (especially spouses) to always validate is not realistic... or that we actually communicate very well, we just don't want to hear what's being communicated... totally goes against the grain of how most people think you should "work" on relationships but I think it's true-er. What parts are you getting stuck on??? What has it made you think about? I think he writes that no one ever WANTS to differentiate... so I think what you are feeling is normal, right ??
(((ali))) that makes a lot of sense! It is just such a new paradigm to me, I am not sure how to make sense of it! my birth time is definitely correct, 6 am exactly. I will never forget it, because every birthday until I left home, my dad would wake me by taking a polaroid picture of the moment I exactly turned my new year. at 6 am!
