And I think a read about the love bank - that's the deposit and withdraw theory, correct? I really like it, it connected with me and made sense..

How's that?

That's Fantastic 4311!
People come here and say they are working on things and it turns out that means they are watching Dr. Phil every day instead of 4x/wk.

We believe in real effort with measured progress toward identified goals -- like what you're doing.

I think you are going to get a lot out of this program. The principles (like the $LB) are easily applied to all different relationships and can help you build meaningful LT relationships in the future.

I think you are right to continue to make improvements in your life as you see fit, for YOU. I got a lot out of identiging the things I did to help secure the demise of my marriage -- some were obvious, others related to more subtle concepts here. The good thing about being able to identify specific issues (unlike "we didn't communicate enough") is that Dr. Harley also has methods to overcome our bad habits.

oh, one more thing - I did my first triathlon 3 mnths ago - it was amazing! (800 M Swim / 25 K Bike / 5 K Run) I finished 2nd place in my weight class! Really, it was transformational.
