I Was So Sure Our Marriage Was Over

“I never thought any book could save our marriage, but after eight weeks of Fascinating Womanhood I’m convinced it has. I was so sure our marriage was over. We just couldn’t get along - - so many fights that left us both miserable for days, not knowing from one day to the next when the next blow up would be. We talked about divorce a few times but for the children’s sake we decided to stay together. We were both very unhappy.

“I decided to go to work to see if that was what I needed. For a while it seemed to make things a little better but after nine months I could see we were growing even further apart.

I just didn’t care about the house or the children anymore. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. I even stopped going to church. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror because I didn’t like what I saw. Deep down inside I was searching for something. I wasn’t even sure what it was I wanted? Was it to be free? I was so sick of the hassles of marriage, children, housework, etc. Things were looking pretty bad all around. I’m really surprised when I think of it that my husband didn’t leave. I suppose he felt the same way I did in all respects.

“I decided to quit work and straighten things out as much as possible. Little did I know that what I had been searching for was right at my fingertips all the time. I really had a bad attitude and it must have shown because a friend said she was going to go to classes called Fascinating Womanhood to learn how to be fascinating. She asked me to come along.

“When I listened to the teacher that first night, and all through the classes, all I could think of was what a fool I have been for so many years, sixteen as a matter of fact! I have kicked myself over and over for being so self-righteous, thinking that all of our problems were because of things my husband had done to me. But I decided that if I was to live FW I was going to put my whole heart into it.

“Well, to my surprise I found out what a wonderful thing it is to be a fascinating woman. During the first three weeks I could see a change in myself; also a change in my husband. So many good things have happened. I keep saying to myself, its really working. I can’t believe it! We have been able to face our problems much easier. Things just don’t seem so bad anymore. One thing I have noticed is that I’m enjoying life and all the things around me. I’m happy to be a wife, mother and housekeeper and all that goes with it. My attitude has changed completely and so has my husband’s. Now whenever we have a problem that makes us feel down and out, I just go to my husband and wrap my arms around him and tell him that I love him and that everything is going to be all right and you wouldn’t believe how he just seems to relax. I’m sure it means a lot to him to know that I care enough about him to try to be a fascinating woman.

“I could go on for a week telling of all the success I have had. There is one thing for sure. Anyone who thinks that there are more important things than a happy marriage and the peace and contentment of a happy home needs to read Fascinating Womanhood. Thank you so much, dear Lord, for bringing Fascinating Womanhood into my life.”
