I recently listened to a podcast where the host interviewed author and couples’ therapist Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. I must admit; my mind was blown.
This therapist’s beliefs about companionship were extraordinarily different from what others say, and it was incredibly powerful to hear his message.
I opened a clothing store at the age of 25. I had no management experience. I never took a business course in my life. But something inside me told me that I would be okay.
Getting there was kind of an evolution, and I continue to reinvent myself to this day. I’ve always followed my heart, and I’ve never been afraid to embrace new ideas. And even when things didn’t work out quite the way I’d hoped, I always learned from the experience.
I love my relationship with my husband. We always make time for one another. We make each other a priority and try and go on a date at least once a week.
That weekly date is our time. It’s an opportunity to connect, have adult conversations, and enjoy our time together without the distractions of children or work.
You may have noticed that over the years, our friendships change. The people who were once our best friends may drop out of our inner circle and that circle itself may be dwindling sharply.
