Love for a lifetime

so a book that was given to skip & i as a wedding gift just sat in a box or on a shelf for all of our years of marriage. that is until about June of last year when I finally picked it up & started reading it. it kills me to know that if we had only sat and read and followed this book how different our lives could have been. the fights that wouldn't have been had, the struggles that we would have known how to deal with, the separations that wouldn't have taken place. now of course their is no way of knowing how many things could have been prevented over the past 11 years but if we actually lived the way the book suggests then i truly feel it would have been 11 years of calm & love instead of anger & yelling.
