When I decided to write this book on relationship, my wife
Barbara was surprised and cautioned me by saying that she would not dare write
such a book because it was such a varied topic with so many nuances. That
scared me because she is certainly more qualified to write about relationship
than I am. I hesitated for a while.
Most of my writing had been on
housing, business, woodworking, even publishing, but nothing on relationship.
It's an expansive topic and I wasn't sure if my information would be of real
value. I considered that all my books are based on firsthand experience and
realized that even though I'm not an expert, I have a lifetime of experience in
relationship. Based on that I felt able to contribute something helpful to some
readers and I feel good about this book.
It is like eating rich chocolate and having
the need to savor and roll it over the tongue; in this case, the mind, for the
true essence of what is being communicated. I can't imagine one being in a
relationship and not contemplating the effectiveness of one's actions, or
non-action, in reading it.
I also listened to some of it in a female voice.
It "reads" well in audio, if you haven't tried that.
Thank you, so much, for sharing this with me.
I am truly becoming a better partner, for what you have gained and are willing
to share.
