Can 15 seconds really make a difference?

The 15-Second Rule
Recently, Carrie and I found ourselves feeling rather “blah” and emotionally in neutral in the moment—nothing wrong, mind you, and no real explanation for how we felt.

Whenever we might find ourselves in this kind of scenario, we enact the “15-Second Rule”. Simply, we hug each other and stay close for at least 15 seconds. We purposefully “lean in” towards each other and fill up each other’s emotional tanks. Other examples to “take 15-seconds” include as you leave for work, and when you return home!

The 15-Second Rule works!

We might not know how our tanks get depleted, but we do know how to fill them up again!  Are you looking for an effective way to keep your emotional tank full? Apply the 15-second rule regularly!

 
It's our birthday!
This month, "The Intimate Couple" is 10 years old!
As we look back over the past 10 years, Jim and I have so many reasons to celebrate!
  • Thousands of marriages were enriched!
  • Couples came to understand the importance of sexual intimacy.
  • Engaged couples are better prepared for marriage!
  • Hope has been given to men and women struggling in their relationships.
  • There was increased communication among couples about romance, sex, date night, deepening intimacy, and more!
 
What better way to celebrate our birthday than with a new book?  Currently, we're in the final stages of developing "The Intimate Couple's Handbook".

This book will be the heart of our message - everything every intimate couple (or aspiring intimate couple) needs to know to create their Dream Marriage.
 
We'll keep you updated over the next month or so... be sure to check us out on Facebook! 
We're hoping you'll celebrate with us soon, as we release our newest book:
The Intimate Couple's Handbook.
