[B]And who says.. a successful marriage must last a month a year, a lifetime?[/B]

I am not saying it SHOULD. But he was married with two young kids, I'm sure he didn't think "oh boy! yippee let's get a divorce" :-). Since he loves her and has had kids with her, wouldn't you think he'd try anything to make it work? And it seems to me that this LoA should be able to provide a CONTINUED happy marriage for him then, because through the law of attraction you are supposed to be able to attract ANYTHING you want into your life, correct?

So if he truly wanted to have a CONTINUED happy marriage with Erin, according to the LoA he should have been able to attract it to himself then.
You may of course reply that he didn't want the marriage anymore, but I consider that an easy cop-out.

Moreover, what about people like Wayne Dyer, who I understand, has Leukemia now? And that woman who wrote "Excuse me, your life is waiting" (Lynn Grabhorn I think), who died of cancer? They both wrote about LoA and how it can create perfect health etc. and how it had changed their lives. How do you explain that then?

Please note I am not saying this to spite Steve or ridicule the LoA. I just would like some intelligent observations on these issues instead of people reciting platitudes that don't convince me.
