This is me
After 3 marriages, I'm finally doing better. Sometimes I get prideful, because I think I'm doing good and then God opens my eyes. I have apologized to wife number 1 for me being a terrible husband and now I need to do the same for wife 2. My wife now deserves my best and I need to give her that. I still struggle with the comments and noises that I make when asked to do something. Nick has helped me realize that I need to be a better husband.

I did enjoy this book at times and related in some ways. It would be a lot more relevant for someone who was waking up to realize that their relationship was falling apart due to too much work or selfishness in general.

Solid points
I enjoyed this book overall. I felt like I was getting products pushed in my face a few times, but it wasn't too distracting from the point. Be intentional in your relationships and you will get more from them.

Many good reminders at how to make marriage work better. I wish there were more of that advice & less about his near-death experience
