Actually Cemar, it is very explicit in that it doesn't require both spouses. It has a similar message to Michele's book in that one spouse can effect change on the entire marriage. It gives a detailed account of the process of change and what "stage" you might be in in your marriage. A very good read, so don't count it out yet! It also has lots of tips on how to ask for change and stick with that request in the face of opposition from your spouse--something that you, personally, might be able to benefit from. Cause I see you asking your wife for a better marriage but not detailing specifically what that entails for you. Yes yes, I know that she KNOWS what you want, but knowing and hearing it are two different things. And hearing it stated in a way that is firm and clear on what the consequences are of ignoring the message, might be the wake up call that she needs.
