samiam, this is beyond awesome! Have a great time tonight, and strike while this iron is hot! While he's interested, see if you guys can start SCHEDULING 15 hours of undivided attention time each week.
If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!

Yep I am going to bring that up tonight and hope it goes over well, as far as scheduling UA. I feel like a school girl getting ready for a date lol ("what am I going to wear..etc") after almost 10 years of marriage. Goodness, I hope we can keep moving in the right direction.  -Samantha

Thanks NG -- does this mean we've called a truce? hehe
Last night was great! He took me to this new restaurant that I said a few weeks ago I would like to try. Then as we were on the way home I noticed we were going in the wrong direction. He took me to this mountain we used to go when we were dating. You can park at the top and it overlooks the whole city. It was beautiful. I cannot believe how much has changed in just a few days. I know we are still at the beginning but I finally feel like we are on the same page and making great strides towards the prize.. a fantastic marriage.
Also, we did map out a schedule for UA time. We both love the idea of "sofa time". I am still waiting for the book to arrive so I'm sure we will learn a ton more from that. I will keep everyone updated on our progress. Thanks again!

You're right. My H was never clueless at all. I was looking at the situation all wrong. (handling it wrong too) WE had just gotten in a rut. But we are both learning and at this rate I'm sure it won't be long til we've dug ourselves out!

I would love to help people improve their marriages! I think I still have a little way to go before I can give anyone advice (good advice anyway lol). But when I get there, yes! P.S. We had family pics made today and they turned out wonderful! It amazes me how quickly this program works. If you have two willing participants you can turn things around in no time. I personally believe no marriage should be without MB.

I agree. It takes ongoing work to really understand the program and be able to keep applying it when issues crop up but seeing your relationship through the concepts of marriage builders makes everything so much easier to solve.

Did you cite specific examples to him to support why you feel this way about particular behaviors?
