Chapter 55 A Book That Saved My Marriage

If I had a million dollars, I would buy the rights to that book, print millions of copies, and give it away to all couples for free. I hate writing this story under a pseudonym.But because of the deeply personal nature of the matter, it's impossible for me to use my real name.In any case, the author of this book can attest to the veracity of this story.The first time I told him my story was 12 years ago. After graduating from college, I got a job with a large corporate organization, and after five years, the company sent me across the Pacific to the Far East as a company representative.

A week before leaving America, I married the sweetest girl in my mind.But for both of us - especially her - our honeymoon was a tragic disappointment.When we arrived in Hawaii, she was terribly disappointed.She would have returned to America long ago if she hadn't been ashamed to face old friends and admit the failure of her married life. We spent two years of miserable life together in the Far East.I was so unhappy that I contemplated suicide several times.Then one day, I stumbled across this book and that completely changed the situation. I have always liked reading.One night, when I was visiting an American friend in the Far East, when I was browsing his well-stocked library, I suddenly came across a book titled "Ideal Marriage" by Dr. Verdi.Judging from the title of the book, this is a false moral thesis report that likes to preach.But out of curiosity, I opened it up.I found that almost all the discussions in it were about the "sex" side of married life.Candid and unreserved, but not vulgar.

I would take it as a major insult if someone told me I should read "sex".Read that kind of book?I feel like I could even write a book on that, but, anyway, since my own marriage has failed so badly, I'm determined to give it a good read.So I got up the courage to ask my friend if he could lend me that book.I can now say that reading that book was the single most important event in my life.My wife also read that book.That book made a dying marriage happy and happy.If I had a million dollars, I would buy the rights to that book, print millions of copies, and give it away to all couples for free.

I once read a passage written by the famous psychologist Dr. Watson: "Sex is undoubtedly the most important thing in life. It is undeniable that it is this that drives most of the marriage life of men and women to the rocks. thing." If Dr. Watson is right.So why are we still allowing millions of sexually ignorant young people to marry every year, thus destroying all chances of marital happiness? If we want to know what's wrong with married life, we should read a book called What's Wrong with Marriage, written by Dr. Hamilton and Dr. McGowan.Dr. Hamilton spent four years investigating what was wrong with married life before writing this book.He said: "Only the worst psychiatrist would deny that most of the unsatisfactory sex life is attributable to the unsatisfactory sex life. From any point of view, if the sexual relationship itself is satisfied, In addition, many unsatisfactory marriages are easy to discuss."

I knew he was right in what he said.I learned these lessons from tragic experience.
