I have more to say on that subject but life keeps getting in my way.
Life has a way of doing that, Cathy. Take your time. I had to go back to the previous page to remind myself what you had asked, and what I had said in reply. I find it interesting that the quote (from the book) that you opened your post with is something I saw the truth of this morning (see my latest post in my "Beginning" thread). W reacted EXACTLY that way, which tell me I'm on the right track. This evening I will be telling her WHY I think this book is so important, and why I think it explains so much about the process of marriage. I won't be INSISTING that she read it with me, but I'll be telling her I think it is important that she do so, because I will be making some changes in myself and in our relationship, and if she's reading this book along with me as I read it again, then she will have a better understanding of those changes, and of my motivations for making them. I think that will help. I'm hoping she will take me up on that...
