Keep Up
It’s inevitable that your partner will change. It’s OK. Keep up. But how? How can you stay close to your spouse throughout the years? The first time I ever laid eyes on my husband was at a club. He DJ’d there, and I was bowled over by him. He had just moved to my hometown three months earlier and his full time job was as Music Director and On Air Personality at our local radio station.

Do you sometimes want to chill? Can I squeeze another yes in here? All the yeses! And, sometimes, you may not have the extra money. Or, what about if you have young kids? That makes it really hard.
