What Happened to the Girl I Married?: Join us for Silicon Valley Moms Group's next Book Club on Friday, July 17th
Let's face it - sometimes a couple's relationship changes once they
have kids. Join us Friday, July 17th as we discuss the book What Happened to the Girl I Married by Michael Miller and talk about what we think happened for our next book club.
About What Happened to the Girl I Married (from the author's website): In What Happened to the Girl I Married?,
Miller steps out of his corporate executive job and into his wife’s
uncomfortable shoes at home. With no staff or administrative assistants
to support him, Miller’s “ah hah moments” begin on
day one and become more profound with each step down the path. Through
his journey, Miller offers a new found appreciation for the tireless
efforts of stay-at-home mothers and clues as to why women might lose
themselves in the job. For the men they married, Miller lets them connect
with his evolution through humor, man-isms and motivations for change
that are hard to resist.
In his journey to enlightenment in What Happened to the Girl I Married?, through both laughter and tears, Miller provides readers with:
- A revealing perspective on the job of a stay-at-home
parent and appreciation for it’s unique challenges
(from a man who never had it) - Creative imagery and colorful examples to help communicate the job’s complexities and the feelings they can generate that are sometimes hard to put into words
- A non-threatening way for the partner of the stay-at-home parent to examine how their words and actions might be contributing to a loss of self worth and identity
- Ideas for small, manageable changes that can have a big impact on the relationship, and how the stay-at-home parent feels about themselves and their job
- A simple terminology that both partners can use to help get their love affair back on track and keep it that way
What Happened to the Girl I Married? is an honest and enlightening love story that’s funny and thought-provoking throughout. The story’s messages help heal old wounds and offer both partners a language to get back on a loving path together – and stay on it.
