Having What You Want With a Man - Success Stories

Adrienne

Adrienne was head nurse in a large New York hospital, caring for sick infants and dreaming of having her own child. She dated occasionally and was attracted to tall, dark and handsome types who often drank too much and were fun to party with. She was invited to her former roommate’s wedding and at the shower the bride told her how she had done this great workshop, broke off with a dead-end relationship and soon met her husband-to-be.

As a woman of action, Adrienne called Life Works and enrolled in the next “Having What You Want With a Man” course 3 weeks later in early February. During the next three months she dated more than ever before, sometimes a date every night of the week. In late spring she met the man she married on the 4th of July of that same year. He wasn’t the kind of man she was usually attracted to. However, from the Workshop she remembered Marilyn saying: “Often the best way to find a husband who is good for you is to leave your pictures of him at home and find a good man who will love you and treat you well.” They now have three children and Adrienne has the family that she longed for.

Miriam

When Miriam first took the “Having What You Want With a Man” course, just seeing the color of her ex-boyfriend’s car was enough to ruin her day. Her disappointment in her love life hung over her like a shroud and she was convinced there was nothing she could do to change it. She was doomed to hopeless, heart-breaking relationships with bad men.

After the Workshop she slowly started dating different kinds of men. She discovered that she could find ones who were genuinely interested in her and wanted to be a companion and partner. More importantly, she saw what she needed to do to find these men and how to attract and bring out the qualities she wanted in all the men around her.

She recently married a man she met at Life Works. He adores her and isn’t afraid to tell her so as often as she needs to hear it. She says “I am grateful to have such a wonderful husband and glad I was wrong about myself. The compassion and forgiveness I feel for myself now is spilling over into other areas of my life. If I could get married and be cherished, who knows what else I can do? Thank you, Marilyn.”

Cathy

Cathy was a successful advertising executive who was active in her Manhattan church and had a full social life. However, she didn’t date much and hadn’t had a relationship in a long time. One day someone at church told her about Life Works and she called and enrolled in the next “Having What You Want With a Man” course.

Always a quick learner she took Marilyn’s words about self-love to heart. “If you are wanting something and are not giving it to yourself then you have hidden conversations to uncover and you are holding off love from yourself.” Cathy discovered that under the cheery, helpful “always the bridesmaid never the bride” persona lived a deep belief that “happiness with a man happens for others ... and it will never happen for me.” Once she discovered the belief that was holding her back she was able to work with it and was soon dating and met her husband within months. During their courtship she had to continually work to open her heart to all the love and attention he showered on her. They now have a 5 year old daughter and twins who are 3 to complete their happiness.

Jennifer

Jennifer’s parents had a contentious marriage. They were always fighting and threatening to leave each other. She was beautiful and always got a lot of attention from men but relationships never worked out for her past the third date. It was a mystery to everyone who loved her — why such an attractive, nice woman couldn’t find a good relationship.

She came to the Workshop to clear what was in her way. In the beginning of the Workshop Marilyn states that “we powerfully create our lives in reaction to what we see in childhood.” In a flash she saw that as a little girl she vowed never to have a relationship like her parents. So unconsciously she only attracted men who would help her keep her vow - because once married she would behave like her parents. Marilyn showed her how to make peace with that fear, stay awake and ask for help if she needed it. She is now happily married and enjoying her new baby.

Anne

Anne wanted a child, her husband didn’t and she was running out of time. When he left her she thought her chance for a child and her life was ending. She came to the Workshop, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her. She gained the courage to go on and find what she wanted.

Soon after she ran into an old boyfriend and there was a spark that she had never allowed herself to see before. He had everything that was on her lists and he wanted a child. They married and although it’s a cliche, they did live happily ever after with their baby.

Lynn

Lynn was the marriageable kind. In fact she’d been married 4 times but never for long. She came to the Workshop a few years after she turned 50 and wanted to untangle the issues that kept her from staying married.

At the beginning of the Workshop Marilyn asks “What do you want a man for?” Lynn pondered that question deeply and wrote pages in her workbook. Then at the end of the course when Marilyn talks about men, Lynn discovered that she had lots of wrong information about them, how they behave and what she could expect from them. Whew! Men were really different than she had been taught! Why hadn’t she seen this before? Some of it was so obvious if you looked at men with an open heart. Soon after, she met a lovely man to whom she has been married longer than the four previous marriages combined.
