    Loved Jim suggestions about having a healthier relationship.
    My husband and I have been married now for 30 years and I would say our communication is not the best and that is due to my lack of talking and expressing my feelings. Now we sit down and talk about what’s on our minds. If something is bothering him or bothering me. We get it all out. And I have to say after we talk I feel so much better. We put a plan together and work on what we need.

    Hi Lysa, I just wanted to let you know that your book “Its not supposed to be this way” has helped me so much, and I believe God led me to reading it. I have struggled for many years and God has often led me to Him during the difficult years. I have always believed in God but have never committed to focusing on faith for more than fleeting moments. Your book really resonated with me though. God finally got through to me, or I finally found words that helped me to listen I guess. I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your book as I believe it is life changing for me. Of course it is God who inspired your words and inspired me to read them so I am very grateful to Him. I just wanted you to know that your book has helped me so much and it’s the first (after many many books) I have read that really spoke to me. Thank you. Jen
