Good Morning All!<P> Kathy,I hope you had a good wkend.I've not read McGraw's book,but it sounds interesting.Glad you are reading Frank's book and it would be great if your H could see himself in it.<P> I think at this point after a year and a halg of marital crisis,I must own about fifty books on the subject.<P> The ones that I found most helpful were: Divorcebusting,Men are from Mars...,Grow Up, and An Unfinished Woman.<P> Understanding the male vs. female communication preferences("Men are from Mars..."),personal behavioral changes("Divorcebusting"), and one woman's journey to find herself("An Unfinished Woman") were most helpful.<P>In addition,a book Jamie recommended,"Living w a Passive Agressive Man" gave me more insight into this personality type.<P>Father's Day wknd was an absolute joy this year.We had a considerable amount of "family time" and my H was so happy and appreciative of the gifts and attention he received from the children and myself.This is in direct contrast to last years fiasco.<P>It is so important to continue using the DBing, approach even though the crisis appears to be over.I don't believe I will ever be taken "off guard" again,now that I know how easily one partner can attempt to destroy a marriage.<P>Of most importance,is that I don't let my H drift from me again.This takes vigilence on my part and effort,since I am a very busy woman and he is a "high maintenance"man.<P> Take care...Jenny<P> <p>[This message has been edited by 17baker445 (edited 06-19-2000).]
