We did it! A second book read this year. What did you think of it? Favorite thought? Anything you disagreed with? Have you tried one of the strategies? Shared any of this with your spouse?With the holiday, I tried to keep the reading light for this week, so we just had a couple pages summing up the book. I also read through the question/answer section. I appreciated the clarification that the strategies work together, not in sequence (pg 179-180). I can focus on one at a time, but all seven work together to strengthen a relationship. It also caught my attention, when he shared the reality that if both spouses see the relationship in different seasons, one of them is not seeing the truth (pg 176-177). I can see the relationship as all sunshine and roses, but if my spouse is feeling a frost, then I need to face the reality that things may not be as good as I think they are.
This book as ignited some discussions with my husband and has brought understanding to a relationship I have been powerless to help. How 'bout you?
