 Welcome!
During the past few weeks, we have experienced an influx of letters and emails from many different families sharing about deep, deep concerns about the state of their marriages.

"Romance is about the little things. It's much more about the small gestures--the little ways of making daily life with your lover a bit more special--than it is about extravagant, expensive gestures (although the outrageous certainly has its place in the romantic's repetoire."
~Gregory J.P. Godek~
