Hi Jon,
Thanks for your feedback and insights. It’s so true what you say about relationship in the virtual age. I look forward to hearing how the upcoming book resonates with you.
Warmest,

I’m reading the rest from the beginning.
I am an LCSW working in the field since 1976 and have finally found someone who’s put into words what I’ve been saying to couples for many years…..JUST LISTEN, don’t try to fix your partner!! I also agree about your take on technology, it’s a great tool for the most part, but it is changing the way we related to each other, and not necessarily in a helpful way. I can’t tell you how many couples I (or other clinicians where I work) have seen that are seeking marriage counseling because they “saw” something on their partners cell phone, a text, a pic, or something suspicious. Flirting on social media, chat rooms, sexting are becoming so common and accepted that it is making it difficult for couples to genuinely trust each other. Instead, relationships are increasingly bifurcated and it’s being tolerated more and more, especially with younger clients who have grown up with the internet, computers, and cell phones. Some justify the flirtation because it’s not actually having sex with somebody else, it’s just texting and pictures.
I am looking forward to reading more of your blog, and will, based on what I have read so far, buy a book or two!!! (Uh oh…were the publisher’s right? LOL) Ah, technology…bane or boon! Jury’s still out on that one, I think.
