I am a teacher. I teach about relationships because after two failed marriages (and add another two that failed for my husband), I just had to learn how to do it and how to get it right. It is said, “We teach what we have to learn.” Anyone who knows me will tell you that when I decide to do anything, I do it with all of me. When something works for me and helps me grow and improves the quality of my life, I am steadfast. Since I began to learn how emotions work, and then began to recognize mine and the effects of healing those old ones that never got expressed, I have been 100% committed to use what I learned and the results in my life have been almost unbelievable. A few years ago I started looking at what we had in our relationship that most others don’t seem to. I wondered, “What are our secrets? And can I help others with them too?” Following are those things that we believe have created the quality and depth of our relationship and we believe they can do the same for you. When my husband died in 2015, we had had 31 years of a highly successful marriage and we'd like you to have the same. The book is divided into 10 chapters. The chapter headings are the 10 main secrets that we have learned and want to offer you. They are: Secret 1. You have to be real and you have to feel good enough about yourself to be real. Secret 2. Making your commitment to the relationship and not each other works way better. Secret 3. You can’t expect your partner to do anything you are unwilling to do like forgiving and giving up being right. Secret 4. You have to learn how to communicate honestly and appropriately. Secret 5. You have to remember that love includes compassion and non-judgment. Secret 6 . You have to be aware when the connection is dying and do something about it. Secret 7. You have to let them know they’re doing a good job. Secret 8. You have to own up when you’ve messed up – and learn from it. Secret 9. You have to get that a good relationship is sacred and make time for it. Secret 10. You have to own the whole job – take full responsibility. After four failed marriages between us, we were determined to learn how to make this a good one. We learned. There are some very special things we noticed after all of those years and we wanted to help you learn them too so you can wake up one day and notice how many years have gone by and you still have the relationship of your dreams.
