We meet the person we want to spend our lives with and then, thanks to children’s storybooks, we believe that we’ll somehow magically get along in blissful harmony for all eternity.

Getting together is where the story STARTS.

Staying together is where the real magic happens and it takes mindful attention.

Nothing is more important than the relationship we have with our spouse. Whether you’re married or not, your primary relationship–that is, your romantic relationship can either be a strong foundation upon which you both can grow; or, it can be a crumbling heap of stone in constant need of repair.
