Journeys Shared
​"Before this journal, my husband and I would sometimes struggle to find the correct wording in difficult conversations, and both of us would feel ignored. Now, we leave the book on the kitchen table for each other, and writing down our feelings has become our most honest means of communicating." "There is something very vulnerable and powerful about handing this book to my husband after I have filled a page; it allows him to actually see my heart without the heat of the moment interfering." "This journal has not only helped me personally heal, but it has also given our marriage a new language, a language of patience and the contemplation of feelings, and it has drawn us closer to each other than I ever imagined we could be."
