 But it's true. Keep your relationship strong by investing in it. Give it the nourishment it needs to grow and to flourish. Here's another idea we've learned. Strong couples turn stressful moments into opportunities to come together as a team. For Jean and me, that means a lot of conversation. In the past, it's even meant professional counseling from time to time. Thanks to good counsel and God's grace, Jean and I have a stronger marriage today than ever.
