On the other hand, people who stress getting the love they feel they deserve and pay minimal attention to giving love themselves take energy from the relationship, rather than give it. It is in the nature of people to flourish when they are loved and to languish when they do not get the love they need.

As a couples therapist, writer about marriage and relationships and family person with a wife and children, my commitment is to promote the way of love to those who care about relationships and want to make their partner relationship better.

I also want to share an important approach to commitment that I have been working on — learning how to love with joy and abundance, rather than with  duty and obligation.
