Hi Dr. Ellen!

My husband and I recently had made plans to go away for a relaxing weekend and to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Our marriage and our relationship had improved so much since we have been listening to your tapes. I have told everyone I know about them. Anyway, he had to go out of town on business and was only given two says notice. It was disappointing, but we now have a wonderful getaway to look forward to after he returns.

The kicker, is that the night before he left, he brought me flowers and thanked me for being such a wonderful wife, for being understanding and for giving him the space to take care of his obligations. He has never done that before. And, he also did all the laundry before he left, this is a household task that he has been doing for years, but he usually just lets it pile up. And he gassed up the car for me, a full tank. He also took our 4 big water jugs to the store and had them refilled. So he was thoughtful and made sure that I was taken care of before he left. I could hardly believe it.

He has been gone for 6 days now and I miss him terribly. I have made sure I let him know how much I appreciated the flowers, the laundry, the gas, and the water. I feel that those tapes helped us have the close and loving relationship we always wanted. He is a changed man, or he has just let me see what the gifts he possesses cuz now he feels okay about sharing them with me.

I feel truly blessed that we were able to turn it around like this. He used to spend as much time as possible away from home. It's funny, that now we are so in love, we have to be apart for a while, and on our anniversary. We have been talking every day but what we both miss the most is being able to wrap our arms around each other. That will be a special treat when he returns.

Thank you again for opening our eyes and giving us direction. I have found a lot of people resisting these tapes, and I think they have no idea what they are missing out on.

Thanks, Ellen.
