It was a friendly gathering and the good energy Eounced Eack and forth from the author to the crowd. He also opened the floor to interact with the couples. 2ne of the topics that were spoken in depth aEout was µmaking time for each other¶. ³In my house there are rules that weren¶t declared Eut we function under them.

0y wife and I sleep at the same time Eecause it¶s the one time that we get to connect as a couple. 7his is key Eecause during the day we don¶t have the time to actually check on your partner Eecause of work children and chores ´ e[pressed 'lamini. 7he seminar provided a space for the gathering to receive support in the presence of other supportive couples. It was also a great way to connect with couples going through similar e[ periences.
