"I feel closer to my husband than I have in years"

Before I took the Life Book course I was experiencing ongoing challenges in my marriage and couldn't understand what I could do to help.
Thanks to the Love Relationships part of the Life Book I was able to see the opportunity to really put my partner at the center of my priorities and to give our relationship and time, attention and love that it deserved. 
One notion I particularly loved was the idea that we get all dressed up to go out and see others but how much attention to we put into looking good and feeling excited to see our spouse when they walk in the door. 
I got caught up over the years in paying too much attention to the other priorities in my life (like raising our children and building my business) and I thought that was okay. I thought it was normal and that my husband should understand that I was doing what I had to, given our circumstances. 
Now I realize that I was neglecting the most important relationship in my life and when we do that it falls apart a bit. Then it seems more difficult to focus on it because it becomes a source of stress or sadness. 
With the help of the Life Book I have changed my attitude, perspective and behaviour and it is already paying off! I feel closer to my husband than I have in years and I feel like it is just going to get better and better.
Thanks so much for sharing so candidly in this area and for the example you two set for others!
