Marc,

Great ideas for keeping sane during rough times. My current husband and I are both on our second marriage. We have been married for 1 yr 8 mo. He has 4 kids, I have 2. The best part is, we make time for everyone because of the custody arrangments. And we have Friday nights to ourselves(unless we are on a camp out with the Scout Troop)

We have discovered that planning our time for work, play and personal growth is very important. We choose to be accountable to each other to keep focused on what we need to do and want to do.

Tim and I beleive we went through a rough time in our first marriages to be prepared for this one. We often reflect on past events as lessons that we pay attention to-so as not to repeat history. I know I have a partner that I can be open and honest with. We have such respect for each other. Respect is something that I think we all need to work on in all relationships. Edification is a big deal, in business and in personal relationships.

I read your bio and want to thank you (and your family) for sharing so much of your lives on your website. Your foundation for your book, your blog, etc is what we need more of to lift people up. There is so much hype being sold-forced down people's throats while they buy into the plan with possibly their last dollars.

I agree wholeheartedly that we need to teach each other to fish------and gather-and store-and love.

I look fwd to reading your book and more on your website.

Peace,

Wendy Meuret
