If you or someone you know is struggling with marriage and relationship issues, there is help available. Research shows that most couples wait 6 years before seeking help! Sometimes that's just too long and too much damage has been done. Whatever the reason for waiting, whether it be embarrassment, money, time, etc., don't let too much time pass before you get the help you need to save your marriage. Or maybe you just need a boost to get the romance and passion back. Contact me through my website at www.buildinglastinglove.com for an appointment today!

We have found this little motel that is inexpensive, but really cute and clean and only 1 block from the beach. So we threw some things in a bag and half an hour later we were on the road, bicycles in tow. We do this often. It's essential for us and this blog will explain why it is essential for your marriage too.
