The idea that relationships take work is a common concept. Sometimes when I am seeing couples one partner will express the idea that if the relationship is really the right one that it wouldn’t take so much work. This idea has validity.

When a couple hits the 50 year mark in their relationship and celebrates that partnership, it’s not just chance. Luck does play a role, in the sense that two people cross paths with each other. What happens from there involves lots of decisions.

Many people in their 20′s believe that living together before they marry is a good way to prevent divorce. But is this true?

How is it that some folks manage to weather the storms with seemingly less effect on their sense of well- being? One key is the way that one regards challenges. Are they seen as hurdles? Or roadblocks?
