With current divorce rates between 42-45 percent, the rush for gays and lesbians to marry we may encounter a new variable on that statistic. In this world of wanting what one cannot have, we now must realize something worth having takes time, work and energy to keep. A precious love is what I know. I have been with my beloved since 1989. We married in 2014 because it was the right thing to do legally. And still, people are amazed at our longevity given our growth, development, careers, and youth when we first united. We have perfected the art of communication in our relationship and have helped many others in their relationships. Understand how to listen better, believe in yourself and stay in love with your chosen partner. With distinct measurement tools, understanding and practice, you can take your relationship to a better level so you do not become a statistic. If you have ever asked the question, "how do they stay in love after all these years, now is the time to make that happen for you!"
