“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times ... always with the same person.” 

Why many times ... through each stage of marriage. Almost everyone has three marriages in their lifetime. The smart ones learn to adjust and do so with the same person. 

WHAT ARE THE THREE STAGES WE’RE TALKING ABOUT?

  3. Empty nest

  • Do's and Don'ts of each stage.
  • Why it's important to model marriage for your kids.
  • Scheduling sex.
