From my article on Huffington Post this afternoon:
I sit with them. Listen to them. Dine in their homes. Meet their families. Explore their cities. Learn their greatest marriage and life lessons.
I research happiness. More specifically, what makes a marriage not just work, but work well…really well.
I interview couples happily married more than a quarter century to figure out how they did it and how what they’ve done can be replicated. I then pull all that research together to determine the common denominators.
There are 12 secrets that I’ve uncovered so far…and my journey of discovery is far from over.
When you sit among a couple who has been looking into each other’s eyes, holding each other’s hands, laughing at one another’s jokes, teasing each other about their various flaws and idiosyncrasies, and supporting each other through this crazy thing called life for at least 25 years, something becomes very clear.
We were not created to be alone. We were made to love. We were designed to be loved.
Until tomorrow…make it a great day!
