Learn the principles of keeping your marriage passionate, alive, and flourishing!
People look at love as a noun, but love is a verb. It’s action.
From Tony and Alisa DiLorenzo
“We have been married for 22 years and not all of them have been happy ones. Like you, we came together with every good intention and “forever” in mind, but then “life” happened and we found ourselves ill prepared to deal with our marriage challenges.
Not only were we struggling as a couple, but also we were both struggling with our own personal hurdles independent of one another. Our “bumps in the road” were actually mountains in our eyes and we knew that in order to get to the other side, keep our family together, and experience a loving, intimate marriage, we were going to need to dig deep and address our circumstances head-on.
Dealing with it all was our commitment to each other. Together, we overcame Tony’s 18-year addiction to pornography, the loss of a child at 18 weeks, debt in excess of $50,000, poor communication, lack of collective interests, and questioning trust. But, the key word here is “together”.
We’ve learned some hard knock life lessons and we’ve discovered key principles that have kept our marriage (and sex life) alive and flourishing… and we did it together. We can do the same for you!”
Get ready to create one extraordinary marriage!
