I sat my wife down one evening and read her this book out loud cover the cover. We laughed and we cried together. At the end of the book, I handed her the book and said, This is the way I feel. She said, I get it now. Thank you. This book has improved our relationship and our quality of life." Captain MW, Chaplain Retired
