Your spouse can add to your happiness, but them alone can't make you happy...I tell my single friends all the time who look for men to complete them...I tell them to be happy alone first and the rest will come.Jen @ After The Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825940318681023321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488999.post-61219113029424554932009-10-15T07:11:36.945-05:002009-10-15T07:11:36.945-05:00Hi Collin,

Yes his book How To Improve Your Marrige Without Talking About It is so refreshingly different and useful...I recommend it all the time which is why I'm a big Steven Stosny fan.<br />You're right about the test, but I think that's because it serves the purpose of even if you are answering "with the right answers" you yourself are learning and are getting the point. I think for many people it's just a gentle gateway into really talking about the subjects. But as a real quiz....true...it's like Eddy Haskell on Leave it Beaver wrote it! <br />Thanks for blogging and keep it up!thinkmarriage.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636786289423645520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488999.post-47383768188434427192009-10-14T21:10:40.591-05:002009-10-14T21:10:40.591-05:00So the book he co-authored with Patricia Love, &qu...So the book he co-authored with Patricia Love, "How to ... without talking...", is I think the book of this decade (as "Men are from Mars..." was for the 1990s).<br /><br />The quiz asked good questions but saying an answer was "correct" vs "incorrect" is IMO bogus. I *knew* what the right answer was, but I also know that I don't always do it. And we sometimes have some pretty substantial misunderstandings, which is why we see a counselor now and then. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the "happily ever after" myth is a relationship-killer and it's good to have it debunked.Collinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754585516151204932noreply@blogger.com
