I'm not a big reader. Never have been. But, about a year ago I felt overwhelmed in my relationship and thought I needed time to clear my head... was I where I needed to be?   With Aaron that is.... So I left him. I've always dreamed of living in a neighbor hood with sidewalks... Aaron wants to live on an open field with LOTS of land.. All of this Crazy stuff was going through this crazy brain of mine. Although, on our "break" we talked & text ed everyday & saw each other a few times a week... Not really a break. Anyway, I'll make this short. In my 9.5 relationship, We've had our Baby Don't Leaves - I'll never do it again... and turn arounds through our growing stages.... The finger was always pointed at him. I listened to other people and so did he... Mistake! Whoever said growing up & growing together and making it work was supposed to be easy [and LOTS of people told us that] was wrong. Most people find their partner when they have defined themselves as a person. Not us, We've had to do this [& it's been hard] but we had to learn to grow as ONE. Love isn't hard, it's a choice. We both let other people get in our heads and make our decisions. A relationship is only hard when you don't FULLY respect your partner. I didn't. And that's what this book taught me..... We were already back together and said this was it... no turn arounds or run aways, but God sent me an Angel, one of my dearest friends who was struggling in her marriage and she gave this book to me.

The BEST thing I ever did for my relationship, was read this book! I was in the wrong the whole time, because I didn't accept & appreciate Aaron 100%. I read different chapters every week. Over & Over & Over again...
Since then, in our 9.5 relationship, I can 100% honestly say we are soild & devoted to each other. Something happened between that time... God! I let him in our relationship. People laugh and question why we aren't married yet. After ten years, I would leave... or Why aren't you married is what they say to me everyday. Well, if we would've gotten married 4 years ago, 3 years ago, 2 years ago or even 1 year ago... We would not have our soild foundation. We'd be a struggling married couple! Yikes! So, I will believe in this book & believe in God & pass it down to my great grandchildren when I grow old! Read it! & Yes, if you are wondering... Aaron does know I read it, and still read it! :D
