Murray’s Marriage Journey
“I have been married for 30 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 studied and am now teaching was instrumental in revitalizing my own partnership. We worked together to push the envelope, learned to have hard conversations, which profoundly increased 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 three decades together. “
