Counseling is good for the soul, alot of talking. Not so much doing, and really...your talking about the stuff that is going on in your life, so its like putting it under a magnifying glass.

Painting the basement is a good goal for home improvement, but does that improve yourself? Unless it is something you have been saying you would do for a while and haven't...

Look you could even do that while your son is sick, pick up supplies real quick or even start taping down there.

I know I'm a lot less blowing sunshine up your butt than others around here and I'll stop posting to you if you want, but if you want me to post to you I'll also keep it up.

So did you actually pick up the book?

Ral, Jack is right about improving yourself, and he does not hold back.I wish I could be more forthright.Self improvement is definitely a must, reading self help books, really looking inside yourself.Really being honest about your part in your situation. It is hard, but the benefits of doing it are worth the effort.

I just got the book on Ebay!!
They have quite a few of them for under $5


There can be no testimony without a test.
I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.

I was just at the bookstore (picking up a copy for a friend. They had at least 20 in stock at my local borders...

1) Enjoying every moment with your children
2) Painting rooms ( turn up the music, sing and dance while doing it) Enjoy every moment of painting
3) Singing at the top of my lungs while driving to work
4) Staring in your child's eyes and enjoying that they are alive!

I was just wondering. Let's say that if my sitch isn't MLC, would you conduct yourself in the same fashion ??? I am Re- reading every reply in this blog and it just dawned on me, "what if I'm misreading the W " ? I really believe that my W's confusion is at least partly due to MLC and I'm working on the parts I've contributed to. Is this path that I'm on still the right one...?

Ral,

For me the confusion VERIFIED the MLC.

If she knew what she wanted she would either:
1 - be married to you
2 - NOT be married to you.

The confusion is the indicator, because really you would absolutely have to HATE someone to leave them in limbo.
