New to Taken in Hand

My husband and I are new to Taken in Hand. It has been 12 days and we both feel that our lives have changed miraculously for the better. Neither of us can conceive of returning to our "old" marriage. We have been together since we were teenagers and are now in our 40's. We wish we had known about this from the beginning, as it has always been what we were seeking, we just didn't know it. Until a few weeks ago we had no idea such marriages existed. The information on this website and the further research it led us to has been such a blessing! I will always be grateful

#1 New too.

I just found out about relationships like this too and was immediately enthralled. I told my husband about this the same night, simply because I had to share this information with him.

This was almost a week ago. We have since talked in great lengths what we expect of each other and what we think might happen.

But just in case, we set a 'return to this spot' moment in time.

My husband has been amazing.

He used to be very passive aggressive, at points even depressed, and I wore the pants in our house a lot. I told him that it didn't feel right anymore. I didn't want this anymore. I think it was a lot to swallow for him, but at the same time, I did not want to make him do anything. Instead, I have been letting him makes decisions, given him choices, and generally just trusted him.

Well, I think this is working for me. I love when he takes charge. I love listening to him with our children. And they love it too, they have been very quick to respond and please their dad.

I cannot fathom going back to the way we were. I love being able to trust him 100%, all the time!
