Murray's Marriage Journey
"I have been married for 24 years. We have similar sensibilities and temperaments, which created a solid foundation for our relationship, but our marriage did become stale. We faced the challenges many couples face -- health issues, pregnancy, work interference -- and over time, we realized we'd become good roommates, instead of intimate partners.
"The couples training I received was instrumental in revitalizing my own partnership. We worked together to push the envelope, to increase our sense of connection. Our friendship deepened and that kick-started a new love affair between the two of us. We're still enjoying our ongoing love affair, even with our busy lives and more than two decades together. "

Allie's Marriage Journey
"I've been married nearly 25 years, but it hasn't always been easy. Even though I loved my husband, I struggled with our differences and wondered more than once if I'd just picked the wrong person.
"My husband and I had been through traditional couples counseling, weekend retreats, but we still fell back into boredom, conflict and disconnection. The couples training I sought out changed my professional life and profoundly changed my marriage as well. Today, there is nowhere I would rather be, and no one to whom I'd rather be married! He holds all my good and difficult qualities and still adores me. I look forward to growing old with him."
