As a licensed Life Coach and having been married for 39 wonderfully complicated and happy years, I have gained valuable insight into why some relationships survive and others fail.

Like most couples, my husband and I faced challenges and difficulties in our marriage. Divorce, however, was never an option. We took those vows with every intention of honoring them till death do us part. We made a contract.

The vows you recited on your wedding day is your marriage contract. If you don’t show up in the marriage each and every day and perform the task you agreed to, just as you agreed to on your job, you will be terminated, only it’s called Divorce.

This relationship manual will provide you with the tools you need to successfully communicate with your partner as well as tips to keep the romance alive and well.
