Book excerpt: Couples and families have it in their power to be happy with each other and create a pleasant and peaceful home environment in which they live together. Our aim in writing about getting connected and staying connected is to accentuate the positive - to show clearly and simply how happy couple and family relationships are created and maintained over time. We will be continuously demonstrating what works well in creating strong, enduring relationships. The focus will be on six key couple and family strengths: 1) appreciation and affection for each other; 2) commitment to the family; 3) positive communication; 4) enjoyable time together; 5) a sense of spiritual well-being and shared values; and 6) the ability to manage stress and crisis effectively.
