Mr. Conway counseled a great many couples, OP, and based his book on large amounts of research/counseling sessions he did..PLUS his own MLC.
A very knowledgeable man. I enjoyed reading his book, and get something different out of it each time I've read it.
Knowledge is always power, and we can never gain enough knowledge. It, in turn, increases our understanding.
Have a good one.
Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
