This was a phenomenal read. Very helpful. In my marriage that ended we started at the second fence. Our personalities matched so very well. The second fence is where we thrived. The third fence we failed because of blended family issues and surprisedly the the attraction fence was not strong enough at all. It seemed easy for us to slip into the fall out of love friend zone in our marriage. That’s what happens when you skip the first fence. The first fence eventually did us in. That’s a twist huh?
