Summary

When you see a cute old couple who looks like they’ve been married 120 years, wrinkled, hunched over, walking down the street holding hands, you may be tempted to think they had some kind of special luck to make it together for that long. But, no two people are completely compatible. NONE. If you were to ask them what the key to their marital success has been, they’d likely tell you that they learned to let a lot of stuff go. They endured and maybe even ignored the things that weren’t going to change. They may have had issues that would lead a lot of today’s couples to divorce, but they found a way to work through them. And in this Deep Dive, I want to teach you how to do the same so that you can save your marriage. Searching for advice? Call 1-800-DR-LAURA / 1-800-375-2872 or make an appointment at DrLaura.com
