Others, not so much.

It was an interesting time, as you can imagine.

But I do think that I've learned that the unity of marriage depends so much more on the friendships

And on the dynamics and to bring it back on the communication and the, you know, realistic expectations.

So that's what I would say.

I think that I really learned a lot about people's progress and, you know, where they are and how they kind of connect to each other and grow with each other.

So I wrote this book because...

I had so many clients that would come into me and have a lot of the same concerns.

You know, we would take the first consultation and I do charge my consultation.

So I wanted to give it to them a little less expensive.

Ultimately, they ask the same questions and a lot of them just aren't informed.

And going and seeing attorneys is very expensive.

There's no way about it.

And it's emotionally draining.

It's hard.

You're telling your story over and over again.

It's just a scary experience.

And so my hope was that this book would, first of all, answer some of the very basic questions that existed.

And also kind of give them the framework to make their first initial consultation with attorneys as informed as possible to put them in a position where they're emotionally in a more stable position because they know like certain things are going to count and not count.

And, you know, they're kind of a lot of the myths get a little dispelled and also have them ask the important questions that they really need to ask with the attorney to decide if that's the right person to work with them.
