How did everyone get started on the right road? I have been married for 2 years and from the beginning it started going downhill. I just sort of stumbled onto this website and was wondering where to start? I just got the workbook, is that a good place to start or is there something else we should try to do before that? I really couldn’t find a place on here to let me know the real process of where to start. I know the basics of the needs and what love busters are. But what was everyone’s actual first step in this process? Ordering his counseling sessions? I also know about the 15 hours…….should that be going on during the love busters identification inventories? We need so much help! All this information is so overwhelming! Thanks for anyone who can help put me on the right track!

I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel that
something has been lost


Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily

I got His needs Her needs for both of us - and called around for a counsellor whom was familiar with it - you don't HAVE to go to Harley. Then we started (at home) filling out the EN questionare so we had some stuff to discuss with the counsellor. Then we have continued working on things with the counsellor ever since (together about the marriage and alone to work on us, so we can grow past our resistance to some of the steps we need to take) and slowly we are finding out some stuff from this site and some from the counselling that explains why we do things and feel the way we do, that helps us with the changes we each need to make to improve things.
