Whirlwind of a Month

By Fawn Weaver on Thursday, July 19, 2012

This has been an unbelievable month.  I’ve traveled to Winnipeg, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Mauritius, London and Croatia, all in search of the secret to a happy marriage.  I’ve interviewed couples happily married 20-plus years and even a few in their early years of marriage.

What I once called the Journey of a Lifetime has turned out to be just that.  Five days a week, I’ve come to this page to share with you what I’ve learned, as I’ve learned it.  This week has been a bit different because things are happening faster than I seem to be able to write about them. 

In Zagreb, I’ve had a jam packed schedule, which included a tour by presidential guards at the Office of the President (good thing the Prez didn’t come in while I was sitting in his dinner chair).  I interviewed a happily married woman, who was petite, gorgeous, and an arms dealer for the Swedes (not kidding).

I visited the museum which won the 2011 European award for most innovative, the Museum of Broken Relationships.  You wouldn’t believe this museum if I told you so I’ll give you the link here.  People send the museum curators mementos from a love gone wrong, along with a story of their failed relationship.  There’s even an axe a woman used to chop 25 pieces of furniture that belonged to her ex.  That museum was depressing!  Good thing I get to write about marriages that have stood the test of time and remained in love and friends throughout their life together.

And now, I’m sitting on a luggage cart in the middle of the Zagreb Airport, second person in line, at Turkish Airlines waiting for them to open.  I arrived so early because this airline is the worst I’ve ever travelled and is notorious for overbooking their flights.  But as I sit, and write, I’m thinking about all I’ve learned so far and excited about sharing it with you in the days ahead. 

Please join me Monday as I continue to share some of the greatest marital advice of all time, from folks not speculating about it, but those who’ve actually lived it.  

If you’re happily married and haven’t taken the time to join the Club, make sure to join us today.  It takes only seconds and, of course, it’s completely free.  Until Monday…make it a great weekend!
