FamilyLife, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine.\u00a0 We'll see what we can do to probe some of those differences on today's program.\u00a0 Stay with us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a0And welcome to FamilyLife Today, thanks for joining us on the Monday edition.\u00a0 You know, I've always been scared when people talk about guys getting in touch with their feminine side, you know what I mean?\u00a0 It always just kind of, you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis:\u00a0Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBob:\u00a0But then if somebody told me, \"You know what?\u00a0 If you could just understand how a woman views romance\" \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis:\u00a0You think that would change it all?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBob:\u00a0It might improve your romantic relationship with your wife.\u00a0 I might be willing to get in touch with my feminine side for that.\u00a0 You know what I'm saying?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis:\u00a0So what extreme would you go to or what length would you go to to better understand Mary Ann's bent when it comes to romance?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBob:\u00a0I know why you're asking this question because I've read your book, okay?\u00a0 What length would I go to \u2013 at the very beginning of the new book that you and Barbara have written called \"Rekindling the Romance,\" you have a story about a guy who was willing to go to some extreme measures to understand romance from his wife's viewpoint, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis:\u00a0Well we wrote a little story, a short novel, and so it's so short that we call it a novella.\u00a0 Ah, there you go.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a0It's a story about a couple by the name of Brian and Angela, and what it does is it gives you a chance to peer into a marriage relationship but with a fascinating twist, a curious twist, a mysterious twist.\u00a0 In fact, so strange and so mysterious I dare not tell you on the front end because it will spoil the story.\u00a0 It's really cute.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBob:\u00a0And instead of you telling the story today, we thought we would get Brian and Angela themselves to tell the story of what happened the day they began to see romance from each other's perspective.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis:\u00a0Brian has got a little bit of an accent.\u00a0 I think he must have grown up in the Bronx.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBob:\u00a0You talkin' ta me?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDennis:\u00a0That's a Philly accent.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBrian:\u00a0Guys, do you understand women?\u00a0 I mean, really understand them?\u00a0 Oh, yeah, I know you say you do, but let me tell you a story.\u00a0 It's a story about a man named Brian, a dope who was married to the most wonderful woman in the world who almost lost it all because he was too dumb to figure out that he and his bride were different.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a0Okay, okay, guys, I understand, you're in a hurry, so I'll make it a short story, like, single-syllable words and a quick cut to the chase.\u00a0 Here's the deal \u2013 I'm Brian Taylor; my wife's Angela.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAngela:\u00a0Hi, there.\u00a0 And I've got to tell you, since we finished our counseling with Dr. Marshall, Brian is, like, the greatest husband. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBrian:\u00a0Hah!\u00a0 I know, I know, everything is great now, but six months ago, after months of counseling and butting our heads against the wall, we gotta tell ya \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAngela:\u00a0\u2026 it was a different story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[door opens and closes]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDr.
