You can lead a horse to water...




A magic wand would solve everything, Jane thought as she sat crying about her most recent spat with John, her husband of nearly 15 years. She just wanted him to read the book. If she could just get him to, no make him, understand how a marriage is supposed to work, they wouldn't have just had this fight, again. If he would just read the book, then he would understand, Jane thought again. 


How do I help my husband/boyfriend to understand these principles and encourage him to see what our lives could be like and ultimately want them? Chapter 17, 'You can lead a horse to water...' The 3 Lost Keys... to Your Amazing Dream Marriage.

It all started innocently enough when Jane asked John about the marriage book she wanted him to read... the third time that week.

John sighed and said, "I know, Jane. You've asked me this numerous times. But remember, I am busy. I work hard all day and when I get in bed, all I want to do is sleep." 

Jane replied, "I work hard all day too and this marriage, our marriage, should be important to you too. I just want you to read it. Is that too much to ask?"

John was getting more frustrated now. "Yes, yes it is."

This really ruffled Jane's feathers. "Oh really? But looking on your phone for 30 minutes before bed isn't too hard, is it? You know, you could be reading during that time instead."

John shook his head. "You know what Jane, I'm not going to read the book. EVER."


'A goal is something you will do certain things for or take certain actions to try to accomplish.' Chapter 13, 'Goals and Hopes', The 3 Lost Keys... to Your Amazing Dream Marriage.

Goals are good for us to have for ourselves. However, as you can tell from Jane and John's conversation, pushing your spouse towards a goal you have for them, will only push them the opposite direction. You can lead a horse to water... but you can not make them drink.

In the book, The 3 Lost Keys... to Your Amazing Dream Marriage, Jane learned three principles that can transform a marriage. She strongly desired her husband to read it and learn them as well. However, in the same book, Chapter 17 discusses how a wife can better lead her horse (husband) to water. 

A magic wand would be nice. However, it is not realistic. Let the 3 principles revealed in this revolutionary new book transform your soon-to-be or current marriage TODAY. 


Transform your Marriage TODAY!
