I think this is an excellent thread and one we would all do well to explore.
I've learned that a strategy is a way of using resources to consistently produce a desired result.
Michele has revealed the common path of successful marriages. The stages people have consistently gone through, to get the results that DBers desire. She's given us a map, but it's up to each of us to develop our own strategies to follow it.
I'm putting a lot of stock in Michele's marriage map because I believe it to be reliable.
My question is, what might be a good way of showing or explaining the map to a WAW who doesn't like to read, and is just now, after 19 years of resisting, saying she's going to start opening up to me more, and has even given some indication she's interested in hearing what I have to say?
The Marriage Map makes total sense. How might we share it with our spouse?
