I can't wait for the whole book, I agree with Bridget...You do Rock.
I have been a member of this BB since late April, and it wasn't until I found your books and this board that I had hope and a plan...I'm still working.
In reading the first chapter, of course I saw many parallels to my own marriage, and I was too young to realize that the magic you have when you first get together doesn't just remain...you have to work at it, and talk about things. I wish I could go back with the wisdom of my mid-thirty years and fix that tiny crack that slowly eroded my marriage of 14 years. But I'm glad to have the now, and the tools you provide to make relationships work.
Right before my H moved out, I was able somehow to revive our sexual relationship that had been dormant for the better part of 4 years, we had more sex in that six week period than we had the whole of the 4 years prior. I did whatever I had to get it, and honestly, I think it scared the *&^% out of my H, that reconnecting...gave him doubts and made him flee. But at least I still knew I could still get to him. It was a real lesson to me in how important that connection was. My advice to all of my friends, especially the ones who say 'everything is great' is to keep that sexual thing alive, no matter what you have to do. I learned the hard way. I think that reading this should be a premarital requisite for all.
Thank you for all that you do. Wishing you a wonderful New Year. Karen
