It's a Methodist seminary.

And at that time, it was a conservative Methodist seminary.

So the dean had to fire me because his supporters in the Methodist Church could not have a divorced professor.

Five of his tenured faculty were divorced five years later, but I was not tenured.

I didn't know that, but I decided I got my degree to be able to be paid to write and read and talk.

They put me on committees so that 20% of my time was on teaching, 80% of my time was on committees.

So when they fired me, I said, that was not fun.

I was a clinician.

So I decided I would go full time in private practice, started psychotherapy.

Then met Helen the fifth year of my divorce.

And we clicked around a bunch of things, started talking.

Five years later, we got married.

And then I had begun putting together this Imago Relationship Therapy theory stuff.

And so our conversation has continued about what causes conflict, why do people get divorced and so forth.

And then when we got into it, Helen became the second most important person in the world in the women's movement after we got married.

So we did parallel for a while.

She was doing the women's world and she was number two, along with Gloria Steinem.

Helen paid the bill for the women's movement and Gloria was the face.

Then Helen decided she liked working with couples, and we co-wrote books.

She began to join me in lecturing and doing workshops.
