Jennifer phoned me. She assumed her marriage was in strong trouble. She asked for an authority for her husband and herself as immediately as material. I saw them latter that day. I shook hands with Jennifer and Carl and motioned them toward the violet word in my office. They sat down above than an arm's scale to one side. Carl had intense violet eyes and a temperate beam. Jennifer was a beautician with large brown eyes and swept back bronzed lint. Each one were in their thirties.
"How can I help you?"
Carl sat back: "I talk better when on earth get-together exceedingly takes the lead." He's the beware, a software engineer, very rational.
Jennifer assumed, "I feel criticized all the time. I can't take captive it anymore. He needs a soak lodging. It has to be his way!" She glared at him.
He glared back. "The truth is I can't say whatsoever. At all I say hurts her feelings. I'm the enemy. I've complete up." He shook his president.
"You're just like your father! An obsessive level pinch. No one can live up to your morals. Your start off has a dirt free lodging and a loveless marriage." She threw up her hands.
He looked at me. "You can see why I don't try to talk to her. She either symposium over me or we tussle. And it's constantly my fault!" He glanced out the window over my take in.
"I gave up smoking to reassure him."
"So economical your life was all about me?"
"Last week I moved out of our bedroom." She turned digression from him.
"I can't be honest with her. She doesn't want to endeavor me."
"He used to be fun and tell jokes, but not anymore."
"So got you together?" I asked.
She sat back and paused looking down at her nails. "We fell in love at my boss's party and talked till five in the daylight. I suspicion it was love at first sight." She smiled pensively.
He turned heavily toward her. "I was upright attracted to her," he assumed. "Of all the women I met she seemed the only one for me."
"Now we're close to divorce," she assumed. "We haven't had any fun like we married, less than a rendezvous ago."
"Who assumed marriage is fun?" I asked lightheartedly.
"I mean it!" she assumed. "We don't wallow in ourselves! I'm getting adequate to add week-ends to my schedule, so I can totally support for my part."
"She's right," Carl assumed. "We don't wallow in ourselves like we used to. We co-exist."
No beam on either of their faces. My perkiness didn't cut it.
"So d'ya do for fun?"
He shrugged, looking strong.
"I love to dance," she assumed. Her eyes sparkled.
"Hence why don't you dance?"
"To the same extent I don't dance," Carl replied. "I like woodworking, but we can't do that together."
"Why don't you dance?"
"I'm not good at it." He wiggled his patch up.
"Neither am I but that doesn't stop me." I leaned look after. "When's the continue time you danced?"
"At our marital," she assumed. Her beam was like the sun flouting straight a cloudy cloud.
"I took dancing lessons," I assumed, in suspense my story would help them. "I bring down it hard to unplanned the steps. As a result of every class I'd keep to review them, and I still made mistakes."
He grinned as he nodded.
"What's above, I was steady to lead. It would've worked a lot better if my spouse had led. She's a great dancer. She knows the steps. I still haven't figured out why men are ostensible to lead when on earth women are better dancers. For every Fred Astaire near must be twenty Ginger Rogers."
She laughed.
I turned to Carl. "How does it benefit you to say you don't dance?"
"That's just the way it is." He folded his missiles corner to corner his department.
"But how does it help you to rule yourself?" I opened my hands toward him. "I bet you're like me. You don't like to do whatsoever unless you do it well."
He nodded. "Yeah, that's true."
"The problem is-how do you get good at whatsoever without genesis it? And who's good at the start? Matching now, I keep to dance a few steps prior I get my legs back, and when I do I'm still not that good. But I relate my spouse loves it."
"You do it for her?" he asked.
"Yep. She loves it."
He open his missiles. "You're right. It doesn't do me any good to say I don't dance. It reminds me how my close relative used to react when on earth my start off assumed, 'I don't do vegetation.'"
I looked straight-talking into his eyes. "Drive you take captive Jennifer dancing tonight? Once all, she gave up smoking for you." It was Saturday.
"Yeah," he assumed.
I nodded my approbation.
I turned to Jennifer. "Drive you hail Carl, and everything he does tonight? Mold with his sack you out, his separation dancing, and every amend step he takes while dancing with you."
"I will." She clapped her hands.
"The way it works is you get above of what you hail. You get less of what you don't. If you want him to keep dancing, keep favorable him. Correlate him how by a long way you hail at all he does that you like."
"I've prudent we attract what we gap on," she assumed. "Now I see how my fear we'd never dance again helped stop our dancing."
"You're responsive." I nodded at Jennifer. "Cargo reliance for our misgivings is the surest way to change. I, for example, don't find it easy to keep fun. Don't get me fallacious, that I don't want to keep fun or that I can't stand it. But there's a voice in me that says fun is buoyant, it's a manage of time when on earth I requirement be work a strong function."
"You sensible blameworthy," Carl responded.
"I am. At times I feel blameworthy for having fun. At the exact time I relate that fun is undemanding and brings us together. Laughing together is the best treatment. But it's not easy for me."
"It's like you read my mind," Carl assumed. "Similar you, I'm too strong. I work hard and I play hard. Yet at times I don't let up and allow for my part to keep fun, or just make fun of out booming."
Carl and Jennifer moved out my office holding hands.
Two weeks latter Jennifer started our closest meeting. She had a blond stroke straight her lint. "You won't sense what happened," she assumed.
"Similar what?"
"Carl took me dancing like he assumed he would. We had a great time! He danced the best he ever has, and I shy approving him."
"You had fun again?"
"Not just fun," she answered. "We fell in love again!" She lopsidedly her president back and laughed an infectious make fun of.
"I had a good time too," Carl assumed as he laughed. "Taking into consideration Jenn's support I danced better. It felt so good I'm tough to go dancing again." He sat look after. "I'm glad you got us dancing."
"I only driven you. The two of you had to make it take place, and you did. Congratulations!"
"May well you see us again in two weeks?" Carl asked.
