Are you asking yourself -Is This All There is?- Are you yearning for something more? I was too. We were high school sweethearts. I met my husband at sixteen married at eighteen and I thought I had met my Prince Charming. We were married for thirty-five years and then divorced. We did everything right, we worked hard and were good parents. How did it go wrong? We focused on our kids and. We had a good life. My husband was a hard worker, didn't drink, gamble or cheat on me. Many believed ours to be a good marriage. Yet I yearned for something more...and I was unhappy. My husband was a complete mystery to me and I think I was to him too. I just couldn't figure us out... or figure me out. His personality type is introverted, quiet and reflective and I wanted to talk, share and hold hands.

In thirty minutes I knew more about my husband, myself and our marriage than in all those years. Suddenly everything became clear. It was our personalities. I now understand why my husband behaved the way he did and why I reacted the way I did. I feel called to share my story and to -help- others. It's part of my personality. I wrote my book using our two personalities as a case study to help others with their relationship struggles before it's too late.
