LDR Doesn't Work Unless

When I first received the book, I was beaming with anticipation because I have been searching for something that can help me widen my perspective, especially that I am at that point where my seafarer husband and I have been dealing with a “few” challenges at the time. 

I just know that by reading your work, I can gain plenty insights and helpful guidelines that will in turn make our LDR more nurturing and fulfilling—and I was not let down. 

While reading, I found myself highlighting various texts on the pages of multiple chapters. 

It is amazing how you have constructed this in a way that it does not only make it relatable, but it made me take a pause, nod my head in realization, and tell myself “

…so that is how it is from his end..

” 

To be honest, it was a very enlightening read for me because I was reminded that his world does not only revolve around his Disney Princess, a.k.a. yours truly, and that the Ocean Kingdom is much more taxing and draining than I thought it to be. 

This book made me reflect on how I handled our 8 years LDR so far (7 years as a couple, and 1 year married). 

Our foundation is, indeed, commendable with its enticing back story, but you are right to say that growth comes with change, hence we found ourselves looking for the dynamics that would work for us now that we are a married couple in an LDR situation.

The book says something about life being a mirror that oftentimes instead of what we want, we attract what we are—this hit me as a wife that I do have the power “to break or make” my husband, that is why I am grateful for all the insights your writing has given me. 

I learned about how men’s mind works, about the pre-existing paradigm and my need for a shift, about handling arguments and the science behind it. 

Moreover, this made me expand my grasp on how I should perceive his masculinity, thought process, and actions. 

On another note, I learned that I am with the right seafarer (though I will be keeping it to myself how I arrived on that conclusion, but it was through this read, actually, hehe!) …therefore, I am “choosing to be” the right person first for him as well—or at least try my hardest to be.

Overall, this experience has helped me reinforced a much more enlightened and considerate sense into me. 

The analogies, metaphors, and the stories—they have been greatly interesting, so my sincerest thank you, Sir, for putting this out in the world. 

To quote from your book, “avoid amplifying bad energy and instead create good energy if you desire a happy marriage” for if one wants to thrive in an LDR, “be a person who loves peace if you want peace. Seek first to understand if you wish to be understood.”

Much thanks, author! More power to you and stay inspired! God bless po! 😊
