The ONE Thing You NEED To Know To Be Different, Beat The Odds And Stay Together!
Couples therapy doesn’t work!!
And yes, I’ve dedicated my entire professional career to teaching people how to love.
But the fact is, couples therapy doesn’t work. They come out of counseling closer to splitting than when they went in!
It’s not that the therapy itself is ineffective.
Nope! It’s because most couples wait until there’s something glaringly wrong in their relationship before they ask for help or receive relationship education. Here’s an example: if you wait to get a cavity before you go to the dentist, you may be in for a root canal (and a world of pain) …or if you wait long enough, you could even lose that tooth. It’s the same principle with your relationship.
By putting one piece of knowledge into action – it doesn’t have to be like that. In fact, with this one piece of knowledge, you could have all your friends, family and the whole neighborhood asking themselves, “How do they stay so in love? What are they doing differently?”
So here it is… the MOST important thing you need to know to set yourself up for the most successful relationship that you’re capable of… and apart from the more than half of couples who either get divorced or stay together in an unhappy relationship!
*As early on in the relationship as you can, while you’re still excited about one another, set at least an hour a week aside to learn something new or do something different for the relationship.*
These days, you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your own living room to get information. It’s simple, fun and something you can look forward to. During this one hour of time, read a love story together, take an online seminar, talk to a couple that’s been together for a while and find out their secrets. It may seem weird at first (anything new usually is) but it means you’ll be closer and more in love than you thought possible.
Once you feel what a big difference it begins to make over the long-term, you’ll be kicking yourself for not doing it up until now!
What are some of the ideas you do, or have done, to be as in love as you are today?
PS – Stay tuned because in February I am going to be dishing out all kinds of simple secrets on how to stay madly in love with your partner. (And it’s not your mother’s relationship advice!)
PPS - If you love this article and have a friend who would benefit, share the love!
I like how you said how important it is to do things for one another from the beginning. I waited too long in my last relationship, then it was too late. I’m doing it different this time, he’s a keeper.
I know, such a very good point. I agree,Felicia,that people wait too long before learning how to be with one another. Waiting can be too late, then no one wins.
I know, right? I think its great what you do for your wife! She’s a really lucky woman
I think I’m the lucky one 😉

I try to do the laundry and some cleaning around the house. When I do, somehow my wife is just a little bit nicer that day.
Thanks for posting this. I think it’s important to get new ideas after 20 years. I make sure to kiss my man good morning every day. What are some things other people do? Let’s help each other.
