“For each woman,  the journey to creating the relationship we really want starts with two things.
One:  enough devotion to the vision of passion and closeness that you’ve  been gifted with,
and two:  enough skillfulness and courage to be able to talk to your husband in a kind and visionary way.“
- Michele Lisenbury Christensen
