A successful marriage is one where you are supported, working together as a team, safe to express yourself, respected for who you are and most of all treated as priority. A place where you have reasons to smile most days. The best part of your day is going home to your like-minded partner, who is your companion to grow with as a friend and lover, in a playful and peaceful environment.

3- She wants him to talk to her, respecting her opinion and understand her needs.

8- He needs her to believe in him, acknowledge his attempts and achievements and tell him how proud she is of him win or lose, don’t make him feel inadequate. A classmate in learning of GOD's word and career/community insights that will help him navigate toward success.
9- He needs to be accepted and trusted for who he is and for what he is driving to accomplish. Being 'equally yoked' ..ability to see eye to eye on important issues and priorities, helps him feel confident that everyone on the team is rowing in the same direction.
10- He needs most of all encouragement and nurturing, from a loving spouse when times are tough. She needs to believe in her spouse, and show it.

Couples
- Do not go to bed angry.....really it does work
- When you wake up in the morning ....take a few minutes and tell yourself;
- I love and respect myself, Life is good to me, What I need and want is coming to me
- Before leaving the house, either wink, wave, hold hands, kiss or look each other in the eye, then say, 'My desire is to be love, support, and encouragement for you, today.'
- Eat meals at the kitchen table without discussing 'family conflicts/negative issues'.
- The more you walk and talk together, the more sex happens naturally
- Awesome families are playful......Should be fun, not all work, no play.
