In ‘An Intentional Marriage’, Brian shares a pearl of wisdom that applies to every couple: to take full responsibility for their part in their relationship and live with more intention. This isn’t just a book full of good ideas (although it certainly has many good, practical ideas). It’s written by a man who has lived the ideas. Brian is an inspiration to every couple that no longer wants to be emotionally drifting apart. Brian’s specific insight on ASD-1 individuals is also helpful, and a testament that anyone can enjoy a more intimate marriage by following the principles Brian outlines in his book.”
– Dan Purcell, Licensed Marriage Therapist, founder and host of “Get Your Marriage On” podcast.
A fiercely vulnerable and in-depth view of the internal obstacles, fear-based resistance, and growth process of one Autistic man within marriage. Brian uniquely articulates how his internal thinking, personality, and life history translate into external behaviors in his Neurodiverse Marriage. His journey is one of self-discovery and the unearthing of personal strengths and challenges. Brian’s “intentional” desire to connect with his Allistic (not Autistic) wife has created a tool that models the compassion, bravery, and self-responsibility, necessary for a Neurodiverse relationship to thrive. I am excited to recommend this book to anyone ready to grow within themselves and their understanding of Neurodiverse marriage.”

There is plenty of gold in this book for any who have accepted their ASD-1 diagnosis and are wondering what to do now. The book is easy to read, full of accurate descriptions, authentic experience, and great advice and suggestions. It will help many to navigate the journey from stuck to growth in their marriage relationship. The focus on intentionality from an Aspie perspective is very helpful as are many of the discussions — honesty, attitudes, and facing fear to mention a few.
I have been on this journey for 8 years and found great practical advice and tips for moving forward in a positive manner. I wish that I had the tools this book provides at the beginning of my own journey.”
