Lots of humor and interesting tid bits. I think that marriage is worth it. It does take commitment and effort. 32 years for me and still going strong. This was a great talk.

]]> Comment on Is it reasonable to say “NO” to oral sex by Nathalie http://bizofmarriage.com/2012/04/is-it-reasonable-to-say-no-to-oral-sex/#comment-405 Nathalie Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:35:59 +0000 http://bizofmarriage.com/?p=1709#comment-405 Thank you for posting this, Shannon & Dino. I really appreciate Julie's thoughts on this subject - especially the valid reasons to say "no". It helps me understand more of where I need to come from with my clients. I have no reason to say no, I agree with Julie when she says "what's not to like?" ;) But I also understand it can be very sensitive and emotionally painful for some. Thanks for sharing!

]]> Comment on Oprah and Tony Robbins made me think…and cry a little. by Charlotte Varble http://bizofmarriage.com/2012/02/oprah-and-tony-robbins-made-me-think-and-made-me-cry-a-little/#comment-395 Charlotte Varble Sun, 26 Feb 2012 23:18:44 +0000 http://bizofmarriage.com/?p=1635#comment-395 What a touching story Dino! My husband, Kevin, and I will be attending your Business of Marriage event in a couple weeks. We are very excited! Reading your story reminded me of my own "know it's him" story. Before I met Kevin, I was at a point in my life that I was so done with men! I had accepted the fact that I was single and I was determined to enjoy that status. A couple month's later I got a call from a guy who had gotten my number from my sister. Due to crazy schedules, he was rejected 3 times :). This guy, Kevin, thought, ok, I'll try one more time, but if she says no again, that's it, no more. He tried again, I said no (due to another schedule conflict). Another sister of mine told me I should call him back and invite him to a late night comedy show I was attending with my friends that night. So I took her advice and we met on a blind date. Well, needless to say after a week of seeing each other almost every day I was falling for him, hard! I thought if he is the one I gotta know now before I get my heart broken... again. I will never forget the peaceful, affirming feeling that came over me as I prayed to know if this relationship should continue. This feeling was one I had never experienced with any other person, I knew we were going to get married. Kevin says he knew after a couple days! It sounds crazy but we married 3 months after that, something I said I would never do! But when you know, you know.... It was hard getting to know someone while being married, but time and time again, things came up that affirmed that we complimented each other and it was meant to be. I know we were brought together by divinity. As any married person knows, it's not always easy!! But that was 7 1/2 years ago and I still thank God every day for the amazing husband and father He gave me! I know we are going to do amazing things together! :D What a touching story Dino!
