Twenty-one years into relationship with my nesting partner, and these all resonate! (Going to steal the tree analogy for freakouts though - I've always thought of it as a ferris wheel, but adding the monkeys to the tree just makes it.) Thank you, and happy anniversary! 💜

Yay, thanks so much for giving it a shot! I hope it thrills as much as that cover.

I'm only 7 years into my marriage, but all of this sounds profoundly true. Thank you for the write up, you've earned a subscription and a promise to try and get your book when I'm not in a country with 50+USD shipping :)
