Funny thing happened at work the other day. Young guy comes into my office and starts talking about interactions w/ his fiance. A lot of the stuff he says about interactions, arguements, etc. remind me of my relationship. So, I offered him my copy of Hold on to your N.U.T.S. and recomend he go buy the 5 love languages. Well, 4 or 5 days later he comes to me smiling. I said, what's up? He tells me about setting boundries, not arguing anymore, better interactions all the way around and thanks me over and over. Damn, I wish I would have had this knowledge years ago. I hope he has more success than I've had. I have to keep telling myself every morning that I didn't do anything wrong. I know what I could have done better in the marriage though. I have the knowledge and am standing by to apply if I get the chance again.
Agree wholeheartedly. I know what I'm giving my kids and their future spouses as a wedding present.
Agree as well. I have actually become a bit of a "preacher" with my close friends who are married - "Fix yourself and your m now!" "Read these books". Some of them actually are.
I am hoping that they take it seriously, but it's hard to do without the blow to the head that we all took.
