What do you like about this subject?
I like that I have been married, divorced, and can speak from both sides of the fence.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
Everything there is to know.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
Marriages get sick in the same way that people get sick with cancer. When I talk to couples I can tell if their marriage has a stage 1, 2, 3, or 4 "cancer." Just like with cancer, if couples don't get their marital illness treated, their marriage is likely to become terminally ill and die -- so don't let that happen! Take your marriage to the doctor today!
