“…Dave explained the three catagories of basic human desires. He provided examples of how these desires affect our relationships, and how we can identify them.

“Before I learned these things, I was so blind to my own faults. I was such a blame shifter, and so so so selfish. It’s embarrassing to think about how selfish I must have looked to other people. I wish I had learned these things earlier. Now I find that I can actually ‘see’ what’s happening inside me and I catch myself…I can live for my family and other people around me rather than myself. It’s a relief.”

“This training raises a multitude of questions that should be addressed by a troubled couple.”

“[I learned that] what we have inside us comes out to the surface during times of stress.”
