Icon"I am starting a new Internet business in my spare time, and have considered forming a limited liability company (LLC) for this business.  I also owe a ton of money to some people, and there's a good chance I may have to file personal bankruptcy in the next year to two years. More >>

IconI had only just begun your book The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands when I ran into a communication problem with my husband and wanted to be sad or angry, but stopped myself to reflect.

IconI have to say you have been a blessing to my life and especially with my marriage. I would describe my marriage in two phases: Pre-Book and Post Book. The book in question is your "The Proper Care And Feeding Of Husbands." When my wife advised this was the only thing she wanted for Christmas, I got it for her that day (December 7) early.

IconA few Teen Commandments about what we should provide for our kids: "Take me shopping." "Thou shall give me what I want." "Thou shalt spoil me rotten." "Thou shalt leave everything to your kids when you die." "Thou shalt shower thy youth in riches."

IconWe all hear and do too much complaining about our circumstances and how we MUST compromise our values and the well-being of our families in order to survive.  Truthfully?  That's rarely true, if at all.  But it requires a commitment to a goal and a commitment to family that will not be compromised.  That means another way HAS to be found.
