Marriage gets a bad rap. It’s the butt of many jokes and many believe it’s an archaic institution that needs to be ended. The truth is humans crave connection. The desire to love and be loved drives both reality and stories that have been told for centuries. Marriage is a formalization of that desire and, when done well, has positive impact on health, wealth and happiness.

Alysse ElHage, editor of The Family Studies Blog for the Institute of Family Studies reveals evidence from a new study that having a loving, supportive marriage is neither rare nor unattainable.

If you would like to be one of the couples that truly make it, contact Lesi today to find out how. Remember to share the show on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with those you know who want the same thing.

People like the concept of change. The reality of it—not so much. But if your relationship isn’t growing, it’s dying. And it grows because either you or your partner are learning new things, having new experiences, and developing new habits. And if one of you changes, your marriage will as well. How you do this will determine its success. This is what’s behind the often heard statement, “We’ve grown apart.” How can you guide the outcome so it doesn’t mean the end? Author and Relationship Coach Louis Morris reveals why personal growth is critical for your relationship.

If you feel like you and your partner are on different life paths, Lesli can help. Please share the show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
