Imagine being the "spouse" of Kauai? That poor pitiful person - I sure feel for them. <p>[This message has been edited by Cndy (edited 03-02-99).]

Greeder,<p>Now you've reduced yourself to a "Bible-thumper" in kauai's eyes... I'm sure that's very upsetting to you. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<p>I've been reading your thread with Maura: I'm going to suggest that you check out several of the Q&A's that Dr. Harley has written about negotiation in marriage:<p> <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi5505_qa.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi5505_qa.html</A> <p>I found a couple that seemed to be very relavant to your situation. The advice wasn't easy to take (in one a separation was recommended), but the concepts seemed sound. I also hope that YOU can start to do counseling, although I would imagine that money might be an issue.<p>God Bless (now I'm a Bible-thumper too...)

Hello, K - Thank you for the link to "How to Negotiate in Marriage".<p>I have already printed out most of the material to study. <p>Building the right kind of marriage is a real process. I wanted to be June and Ward Cleaver right off the bat. (Not really!) But at least know the kind of ever-present pleasantness they shared in the home-life they portrayed.<p>Good Luck to all of us!

<br>Good Morning Maura!<p>This will be my last post under this topic.<p>Let's move on. I will continue under the new topic, "What we DO love about our spouses".<p>I have kind of been all over the place this morning under different topics. I would like to leave behind this one and "DOMESTIC ABUSE..." and move on to a more positive topic.<p>Stay with me... See you there!
