Revka, always glad to have you drop by, and I’m excited to come by and read your thoughts on this particular chapter! That is interesting, that we chose the same one to review! Thanks for letting me know.

Tricia, thank YOU for letting me be a part, it is definitely my privilege. I have shared parts of your book with dear girlfriends and they are all dying to read it. They need to get their own copy though, I’m still digesting everything the second time around!

Oh Mary…thank you so much for your kind, kind words. Thank you too for sharing your marriage and yourself with us…what a great dialog you’ve created.

Thanks for joining the tour and for sharing my book with your readers.

Blessings,
Tricia

Hi, Mary! It has been awhile since I last stopped by. I hope you are doing well.

I find it interesting that we chose the same chapter and nearly the same passages to quote. I build walls and am afraid to let people, including Mr. Incredible, get close enough to hurt me, so I walk away from fights and try to avoid conflict at all costs. Boy, did Tricia nail me for that!

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, DH and I fight cleaner than we did when we first married 20 years ago this month. But we still fight. Must be doing something right!

Hi Alene, thanks for visiting! Good luck on the contest.

Leticia, thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, this is a book I’m going to need to re-read with a highlighter!

(BTW, it’s not *my* copy that is up for grabs, you guys can thank Tricia for making one available!)

Amy, Tricia says the same thing about selfishness, something about how it’s the #1 problem in most marriages. We’re too selfish! As for your situation, I remember how it was growing up in a pastor’s home with a mom that stayed at home. We were around each other 24-7, I well remember it b/c I was homeschooled several years of my childhood!

Hi Bethanie! Glad to see you online…I just mailed you a letter yesterday!

This does sound like a great/helpful book. I love the one thing you posted from the book: closeness fosters conflict. How true! Since Frankie is a student and I am a stay-at-home mom, we are close in a very literal sense a lot (compounded by a very small apartment). I think we have both come to see that marriage makes you realize just how selfish you are. Someone told us before marriage that marriage is to make us holy, not to make us happy. We thought it weird, but now we both understand!

It really is a fantastic book! Every married or soon-to-be married person should buy a copy, they will not be disappointed.
