Quotes to ponder:
“It seems like Brian puts all of his energy into his job and has little left over for me, our kids, or our home at the end of the day.”
“Just because you fall in love with someone, that doesn’t mean that love will stay alive without nurturing your partnership.”
“What might be missing is what Dr. John Gottman refers to as a sense of shared meaning.”
