Do what I can but still have questions 4

[soccerwife]

Another new thread, and another "year" of elementary growth, I forget what grade I am in now... must be 3rd grade?

Anyway, As third graders do, I have much more self awareness these days. I am a separate, decision-making person who has the ability to choose between right and wrong. I have also identified areas where I still need further growth, knowledge, and practice.

Today, I began Mort Fertel's Marriage Fitness Tele Bootcamp. I have finished phase I in one day, which is possible because I have been emersed in DB'ing for a month now.

DB fans who have been wondering if Mort Fertel offers anything new will be pleased to hear that so far, the information in his program is the same. Put your M first, love unconditionally, stop pursueing, do 180's (although he goes about that one differently). Further, Fertel's materials (CD's Teleconferences, book, workbook, etc) are all pretty redundant. I do like that there are different medium to learn from because everybody learns differently and repetition is key. And he does have really great stories and anecdotes but he is a little long-winded.

I will wait to make the ultimate judgement when I am finished with the whole program, but so far, DB seems to be the better deal with the online community and affordable individualized coaching. However, there is no cost too great when it comes to repairing a family, so I sprang for both. Plus how else could I actually say that I tried EVERYTHING.

I will keep everyone updated.
