Can We Dance?
Learning The Steps For a Fulfilling Relationship

by Susanne M. Alexander
with John S. Miller

“After reading this book, I have a new-found appreciation for the importance of really exploring myself to know what character qualities I need my mate to possess.”

“I love the combination of information, reflection, and interaction with the arts. This approach is present, reflective and emotionally, spiritually provocative.”

“Can We Dance? helped me to examine my beliefs, clarify my motivations, and analyze every step from friendship to a serious relationship. It is full of great tools that are both fun and immediately useful.”

Consider these statistics. Do they seem altogether too familiar? Perhaps you have seen this in your own family history. The chances are good that you have seen it ...maybe up close and personal.

Are you ready to say,
"The buck stops here?"

Is it time for you to begin making some changes for yourself by making better choices? If not now, when?

If you have not been to a really scary movie lately, and if you are really in the mood to be shocked beyond belief, do an internet search on divorce statistics or men who pay child support or fatherless homes ...you get the picture! Consider yourself warned. It is not a pretty sight. It's enough to make you cry!

Is sorrow, divorce, broken relationships our destiny in life? Do we have any better choices to make?  We must find better choices to make!  The alternative is too grim to say the least.

The following statistics are some of the least frightening statistics that we could find. Grab a box of tissues. Get a bowl of chocolate ice-cream -- and cry! Because statistically speaking, this has either already happened to your grand-parents, your parents, you, your children, or it's going to happen to you or your children if you don't intentionally do something to prevent it from happening.
