These reflections are best if both partners use them. Marriage is hard work and something that we miss out often is that ‘happily ever after does not mean there are no fights or disagreements.
The best relationship experts all agree on this one thing. There will be down times and how couples treat each other in these situations is one of the most important keys to a long-lasting relationship.
We wish you love, warmth and understanding in yours. May these reflections provide reassurance and inspiration.

My partner and I gain a new perspective on life by sharing our lives together.
We share many interests and add vibrancy to our lives with our love.
I respect my partner’s individuality and boundaries. My partner does the same for me.
2. While we are similar in many ways, we are also different and separate human
beings.
We actively try to understand and support each other. We avoid trying to control the other.
Our communication is healthy, honest, and considerate.
I feel comfortable in sharing my issues and concerns. We find common ground. Shame and blame are absent from our relationship.
3. Major decisions are made together as a team.

topics.
When we have differences, though, we spend the necessary time to reach an agreement.

4. I understand that relationships are about change and transition.
The twists and turns of life lead the way to the next adventure.
