About the Authors.
we are just beginning this journal and i have to say, it's awesome. we have only been with one another for 10 months, although we've known each other for a few years. our challenge is that we have an 11 year difference between us and my partner lacks the relationship experience that i have. despite that, it is a journey into one another that i have never explored in my 38 years. i've been in multiple long-term relationships, been married and never have i asked these questions in this way, in this format. we are both in our own therapy, however, this gives us an internal insight that i don't think evolve in most organic relationships. we don't have a difficult relationship nor do we have many arguments, however, as a result of the potential hazards (we now live together) i wanted a tool for us because he is not a great verbal communicator, but a fantastic writer, so it gives me a very deep view of how he sees things. i could see how ti could be uncomfortable for people who have major issues, but the key to any relationship is the willingness of both to improve the connection, keeping in mind that you alone are your own conduit of energy that must be kept clean. that's truly the key. if you don't want to be a healthy individual, your relationship will just highlight your unwillingness. if you are willing, this is a great, and honestly, fun book to explore one another. i love it.
