lies at the alter
Adam and I have been reading "Lies at the Alter: The Truth About Great Marriages" that was loaned to us recently. While driving to the coast we took the quizzes in the back of each chapter to learn more about each other. We laughed, we pondered, we agreed and we agreed to disagree. I would recommend this book to any couple. This particular section sparked my interest and thought I'd share...
Closing The Exits:
- Do you or your partner zone out in front of the TV every evening?
- Do you or your partner spend long hours in computer chat rooms when you are home together?
- Do you or your partner regularly get your emotional needs filled outside of the marriage?
- Do you or your partner spend long hours on the phone when you are home together?
- Is your idea of relaxation drinking alcohol that leaves you dozing in your chair by eight p.m. or zoned out emotionally?
- Do you avoid talking about your day with your partner?
- Are you like ships passing in the night, not stopping to hug or touch each other?
- Do you or your partner walk away when you're uncomfortable with a conversation you're having?
- Is giving or getting the silent treatment a regular part of your marriage?
Yes, thanks to me you found this wonderful book ;) Ok, this makes more sense that you guys had so much time to talk, you were trapped in the car the whole time! Way to go Mel, good thinking :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, if I answer yes to all of the above questions does that make me a sinner?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder no one wants to be with me.
We are all sinners, my dearest friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd wasn't it you that gave me the wonderful idea to take the book on our trip? Yes, I think it was.
I adore you!!!!!
