ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS
Question for a marriage counselor What makes a relationship better? We're around each other 24/7 (we both work out of the home) and are kind of bored with the whole thing.


Marriage Counselors reply


When you come home from work, walk over to your partner and say hello. If s/he comes home when you are there and on the phone, HANG UP on your friend and talk to your partner. Look in his/her eyes for 20 seconds.

It is really the day to day, little things showing respect and making your relationship a priority that make the difference. Also, think of a relationship as an infant that needs nurturing to grow. You can't grow a child on bad feedback and lack of time. You must feed a child and love a child AND you must feed your relationship too.
