Hello all,

First, let me say that I've read nearly every book by Dr. Harley, as I plodded along in my marriage, looking for ways to divert it from the track it was taking.

I read His Needs, Her Needs first. Then I moved to Buyers, Renters and Freeloaders. At first I nearly passed on that book, since I was married, but after reading it, I learned that just because you are married doesn't automatically make you a buyer. You can be a renter or a freeloader as well.

I read Love Busters and could really relate to the information presented. Then came Give and Take and a few others that I think Dr. Harley mentioned, **edit**

My point is, if you are reading any of those books, you have a chance. I hope you take it. Not all marriages will be saved but if two people are willing to open their hearts to each other and really put in some effort, the books can help to turn your marriage around.

I saved all my Kindle copies. I am not planning any relationship at this point in my life and I'm not sure I ever want to, but I'm still going to read them, again, and keep familiar with the principles and practices because those things can also work on your family relationships too.

I just wanted to share that with anyone that wants to read.
