From Dr. Anne-Loure Perraud, and Kathy davis

Love all of the good times that you share together. They can be the currency to help with the harder times...and there will be hard times so don't be surprised. Constantly work to find new ways to fall in love with them, you're never too old to do that. -ALP

Always accept your partner for exactly who they are, and don't try to change anything about them. Try to see them with fresh eyes, and let them be themselves. -KD

I love that you collect dirty jokes...

From my mom

Anytime you are having a discussion with your partner, bring to it fresh ears. No matter how many times you may have talked about this subject, its important to fully listen to everything as if it were for the first time...and never stop laughing with each other!!

Beautiful Love Wisdom from a Therapist Talking About Working with Couples

In couples work, I draw from the principles of Imago therapy, psychodynamic theory, and non-violent communication. Relationship issues are often underlain by unconscious and unresolved childhood pain. My work gets both partners in touch with this material, moving one past the defended aspects of one’s psyche and into what one truly wants and needs. This places previously unsolvable issues in a new perspective, which helps couples shift from relating to each other as adversaries trying to get each other to do what they want to relating to each other as allies in mutual healing.
