Summary
After escaping ten years of physical abuse and infidelity in her first marriage, Kelly's second marriage was falling apart too. Her new husband had zero sex drive, refused to take her on date nights, and drank wine every weekend until he turned cold and distant. One desperate night, Kelly actually got in her car to leave, but found she couldn't go through with it. Then a neighbor knocked on her door with what Kelly calls a miracle. Today, that same husband can't keep his hands off her, and she says her marriage is "the most beautiful, intimate, loving, respectful, connecting relationship." Kelly's incredible transformation will give you the courage to try one more time—and the tools to make it work.
