Can I have Some Honest Opinions here...

Dear Dianna:

Hey!! It's good to say hello again. I've had a crazy new year so far, the best of times and the worst of times, but the dust is settling, and I'm looking forward to being out of my self-imposed exile and back in the swing of things.

In the end, the only person you can change in a relationship is yourself. If a guy is thinking his wife should read a book to improve the marriage, the better course of action would be for him to buy books for himself, and work on his own shit.

Scanning a book for spousal goodies you might get from your wife and then giving her the book so she can work on "herself", is the kind of drive-by, self-help referral I would personally hate.
