Success Stories

Perfect, Everlasting Love

This is written by a very contented husband who is so grateful to our Heavenly Father for inspiring Helen Andelin and all of her beautiful teachers, specifically the one who has been my wife’s instructor of the course which has completely changed our lives.

I could mention a long list of the many ways it has improved our marriage but it will suffice to say that it has brought forth for the first time complete communication and therefore we discuss everything pertaining to the family and make all decisions together.

Since the application of this class in our lives along with the book, Man of Steel and Velvet which I recently read, it’s as if we’ve really met for the first time after eighteen years of marriage.

The biggest impact those two precious books have on a husband and wife is the fact that you can actually visualize and experience the opposite sex’s point of view, thus bringing out perfect harmony.

The biggest downfall in our marital relationship was judging one another from a male or female world.

I shall be eternally grateful to the dedicated authors of these timely writings who have made us realize, as sweethearts, we have only just begun to live as we climb towards our perfect everlasting love.

We’re Falling in Love

I don’t know where to begin with my success story. There are so many. In fact, my daily life is a success story. Each and every day of my life is a success. Each day is a challenge to me but with each new problem the only way I can handle them is by putting FW to practice.

Eighteen months ago my husband and I were on very shaky ground. We had been separated for the second time and were just back together. I had been raised just the opposite of FW, a martyred Women’s Libber! I was so nervous and scared to apply FW that I tried it on my 12-year-old son. He and I had had a 12-year continuous battle going. Well, it worked! He started treating me like a “queen mother.” Just recently he spent his allowance to buy me a pair of fancy knee socks because he said, “Your feet are always cold.”

When I applied FW to my husband he never said much at first, but did a lot. Six weeks after FW he bought me a new car to replace a very old unsafe one. The back floorboards were worn through. I received my first diamond ring, my first vacation without the children, flowers, and a very expensive dress. He calls me from work. I’m not working. He says he likes me home now. He says I’ve smoothed out the rough edges. And he knows absolutely nothing of FW. More important, we talk, we’re close, we have fun, and we understand each other. We’re falling in love. Last week he said, “You mean more to me now than I can explain.” My success is me. I finally found her. I thank you and I thank God.

He Doesn’t Think It’s Strange

Everything I have read and put into practice in Fascinating Womanhood has worked, and worked wonderfully and quickly. I remember how in the past when I would undertake to put into practice some particular behavior or another, I would think that surely my husband would suspect something strange. No one just undergoes such a radical personality change without arousing suspicion, or so I thought. But it seems that each time I re-read and then renew some behavioral aspect, my husband just delights in it – eats it up.

He doesn’t think it strange that I suddenly acquire a more amiable and charming manner – he just likes it. And he is no simpleton, believe me. He has two college degrees and is abundant in common sense and is just so naturally intelligent.
