The Calm Sea Waters

“My name is Susan, and most variations of it. I am the wife of a wonderful, strong silent man, a mom of four, a home school teacher, a sister of 12, a daughter of my wonderful parents, a friend to many and a daughter of a loving Father above.

“When I was in my teens I was a real tomboy who hated dresses, kids and the thought of taking a man’s name! I had a career as an AP/AR clerk and was working towards my CPA when I met this man who threw me completely into a tailspin. I knew instantly this was the one and married him within seven weeks. By this time I had made some changes in my thinking and was actually living parts of FW, which I believe was in preparation for him. But by the time I found the book it took me over a year to find the online help I needed and live it completely.

“I can tell you the road to FW was not all bliss and roses. At first I lived only the parts I wanted to, ignoring some that were needed by my dear husband. In turn he considered an affair that nearly destroyed my self-esteem. Even though he never followed through, it did so much damage that I thought I would never recover. I pulled out my FW book and was determined to live it completely. I can say with confidence that the teachings of Fascinating Womanhood changed my life and marriage. I have found my inner happiness. Now I know who I am and where I am meant to be. God has become an integral part of my life and I believe that without trusting him my marriage would never have been saved.

“I know many will believe that because he didn’t follow through it wasn’t all that bad. Actually it helped me. It helped me discover that I wasn’t what he wanted, and wasn’t living up to my parts of our marriage. I also learned who I was, where I wanted to be and what I wanted and needed for my life. I needed his full love and a partnership that lasts a lifetime. And here I am, finally living it. I hope each one of you will see how FW changes your life. It is the calm sea waters, the snow covered peaks of tranquility, a gift that counts so much in marriage, in so little time.”
