Venus and Mars

My husband and I picked up the book Venus and Mars together forever. It's a relationship book in the men are from mars and women are from venus collection. We've been reading it together before we go to bed. We're only on chapter 3 so far but it is very helpful as a relationship book.
Not that we have a whole lot of problems. Just feelings of under appreciation and isolation and loneliness at times. mostly do to my own issues but also because our communication skills aren't always the best.
It's surprising how well the book does on actually bringing to light the differences in the way men and women think and what both sides can do to appeal to the other sides core nature.
Last night Nathaniel was home late from work so I was actually able to feed, wash and get the baby ready for bed before he came home for dinner. So when he got home dinner was ready and the house was calm...mostly because I was feeling content with myself and not worrying about what I wasn't going to get done and just focusing on what I was able to get done.
Nathaniel actually went out and got me flowers, a card and picked up a red box movie. It ended up being a really good evening. No stress and lovey dovey all around.
Thank you self help book!
