Revere each other and be grateful that you are in each other's life.

Today, as we near the end of 2017, we present our 100th Marriage Minute. You’ve been on a journey with us to strengthen your relationship, and love itself will always be a journey of discoveries unique to your relationship.
In appreciation, we want to offer some general advice about the longevity of love.

Dr. John Gottman states in the final chapter of What Makes Love Last? that the best advice he can offer any couple is to “revere each other and be grateful that you are in each other’s life.”

True love is woven out of honoring and understanding each other’s unique gifts, vulnerabilities, and eccentricities. Your journey is not going to be like any other couple’s, and that’s how it should be.

The first step toward nurturing true love is to recognize what it looks like for you, with all its imperfections and complications. The second is to honor it.
