If you aspire to making real improvements in your marriage Then One Shoe Over The Fence can help A note from the author

One Shoe Over The Fence tells the story of how we not only fixed our failing marriage but how we went many steps further and learnt to thrive. Everything we learnt is in the book. Nothing is held back. If a strategy gave solid results or an insight added value then it is included. We were not interested in theory for the sake of theory. We were a husband and wife with a young child in trouble and we needed help immediately.

We found that help; applied the marriage advice from credible teachers and got results. I am confident all couples will be able to apply the information in One Shoe.

My grand hope is that the effort we put into facing our problems and resolving the issues in our mariage will be helpful to others. I know the information in One Shoe is valuable and I wish you all the luck in the world as you put it into practice. Stephen

"We had been married for ten years. It was six months after the birth of our first child and things were not going well. "

"Rebecca snatched my shoe and flung it over the fence. 'Get out, ' she screamed, 'leave now!' "

"I stopped in my tracks. I had never thought it possible that I would be a part-time dad, spending the weekend at the park trying to make up for the missed time during the week, struggling to manage handover without dredging up the pain and disappointment. Part-time wasn't what I wanted."

"I felt a wave of resolve. I squared my shoulders and with great certainty shouted, 'No son of mine will grow up in a broken home.' It was a moment of clarity in the swirling madness. I'd hit rock bottom. I would not allow it to get any worse. Whatever it was that had led us to this misery would change, starting now! I could see the fear settle on her as she realized what she had risked. "

"So there it was. I'd said it out loud. After 10 years I wasn't very good at being married. We were in trouble. There was so much I didn't know and this lack was really starting to bite. "

"There was no alternative and no second chance, we'd invested too much time, love and hope. Starting again was not an option. "

"Later that day I noticed my shoe was back on the shelf. "

Four years later...

We had worked our way to a 'nice place.' Life was good. "I was scowling on the outside but smiling on the inside. For the third time in two weeks an acquaintance had sidled up and said 'I was driving and saw you and Rebecca walking hand in hand. You looked very lovey. "
