Am I the only one who will read a relationship book and get excited and hopeful and sad and scared while reading through different parts?

I just finished the 7 Principle of Making Marriage Work and I can see the faults and issues between us. From my point of view they are things we can eliminate, figure out, or learn to live with like we had before.

I think that is why I was so angry last night. Right now I feel like "if I only had this book with me we could have fixed our issues." In reality I don't think it would have happened that way. I would have been too scared to bring up the book or too naive to think we needed it until it was too late...
