Chapter 62. Medical Volunteer Event

Savannah and Ari see Edith, the marriage counselor. It was a stress-free, casual conversation between them. Two hours of building the structure of their marriage. Edith emphasizes the importance of maintaining interests outside of the relationship and paying attention to one's own self-identity. She explains healthy boundaries to maintain the couples' independence. That may help keep their relationship strong in the long run. Edith continues on with her lectures and both Ari and Savannah are listening.... Helping a partner cope with stress in positive ways, forgiveness, sacrifice, generosity, and gratitude are also features of happy, long-term couples.

Talking about your relationship, using humor, and doing fun things together were also noted as important qualities. This session was so informative. I learned a lot about how to deal with my stress and frustration, "Savannah quips.

Me too, Ari said.

I would like to learn and be a good husband.
