My Monumental Attitude Shift
04/28/2014

I was just listening to a podcast where a wife was complaining about how her husband never did anything, but when he did dishes for an entire day, she complained about how they were not done right because he left 16 dishes for her to put away. She actually counted? That summed it up for me. As my wonderful husband says: When you love someone they can do no wrong but when you don't like them they can do no right!

We went through something similar in the beginning of our marriage. We had no role models on either side of our families when we were young, but thirteen years ago, I moved and heard your radio show for the first time. I have since become a podcaster and listened to every single show as well as read several of your books. I even went on that cruise with you! I started applying some of your methods, especially when I get up in the morning to think of something wonderful I can do for my spouse.  The results of were a monumental attitude shift on my part!!!! He is absolutely the sweetest man on the planet and treats me like a queen, and "all I had to do" was to be sweet...go figure. You are so right when you say that if he's a decent guy, men are easy. I think sometimes because they are so easy we take them for granted.  With any luck, other people will get the wakeup call I got from your show.
