Where it all began

Some time ago, while lunching with a friend, it occurred to me to write, and do whatever I could do, to help couples improve their relationships.

My friend and I were seated across from a couple. It was virtually impossible not to hear their conversation.  They looked very unhappy and didn’t say more than two civil words to one another.

As soon as the waitress came over to their table they were very polite and courteous to her.  When the waitress went into the kitchen to place their order, the couple returned to their same borderline rude behavior.

This married couple (I'd overheard them mention they were married) had pledged their life-long love to one another, yet treated the waitress, a total stranger, with more regard then they treated the person they promised to honor and love! It was very sad, and I discovered, all too typical!

I know that couples have their ups and downs, but I decided not to dismiss this incident so quickly.  After extensive research and study, I discovered that this attitude and behavior seems to be prevalent across all types and categories of couples. Why didn't more couples report having successful, fulfilling love relationships? I was puzzled about this and concerned!  So it was, that my journey began.

I found that couples want to have wonderful, fulfilling, long-term, relationships (as is evidenced by the fact that people are always looking to find that certain special someone).  They simply don't have the tools to select a suitable relationship candidate, which makes any good relationship impossible, or they (individuals) don't know how to maintain and grow a well-functioning, long term, or even life-long love relationship.

It is ironic that issues dealing with something as important as love relationships are not taught in school, or adequately at home! (The high divorce rate is indicative of this reality). The impact of relationships is felt by our society at large.  Think about the cost emotionally, and often financially, of unsuccessful relationships. So, what can be done?

I am a hopeless romantic, as well as being scientifically inclined, and want to, and can, provide couples with substantial information and ideas that CAN make their relationships more loving than they ever imagined!  Love makes all things possible! Naturally, you also, have to put in the required work!

My books and workshops focus, first and foremost, on you, the individual.  All relationships start with you, and the more knowledgeable you are about yourself, the more you are able to make healthy choices about what you create in your relationships, and/or what you will bring to yourself in the future.
