Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome

As a divorced woman of twenty years (my
husband left me for a younger woman), I dreaded having to read this
book as I feared reliving some traumatic times in my life. Instead my
eyes were open to many things that stand between husbands and wives in
having a true meaningful marriage. The messages were very strong and
clear and uncomplicated.
In sharing the story of her infidelity
in her book the
author truly opened the door to why husbands and wives stray from each
other. The pure honesty and commitment that then transpired when they
"re-committed" themselves to each other is delightful. As she shared
their challenges, struggles, and strengths, many lessons were taught on
relationships, both in a marriage and with friends and other family
members.
She shared some important truths that can
be applied in life every day. Encouraging is very important in any type
relationship and the lessons learned in this chapter will forever be
part of my daily life. The comparison of different characteristics
between men and women was also very enlightening and useful in day to
day living.
Her approach to life and living, along with
her humor made the book easy reading and thought provoking. As a single
person I believe the six hedges are something I can use with my
children, grandchildren and other family and friends. Perhaps the book
would have been more useful to me if I was married, but I must say that
I thoroughly enjoyed the short biography of a woman who has struggled
and succeeded in having a great and healthy marriage. Had I known some
of the tools of marriage taught in this book perhaps my life would have
taken a different turn twenty years ago.
