All marriages are a work-in-progress. Any couples who think they have it all figured out, who think they have finally achieved the “perfect marriage” are couples about to change. Tolstoy famously said at the very beginning of Anna Karenina, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” But perhaps that is incomplete. There are no fixed rules that make a family happy, any more than unhappy. We must each work to find our own paths to happiness, and we must always continue to work to find new paths to continued happiness.

This site is for all committed couples: those in a marriage that is working, those in a marriage that isn’t working, those planning to marry, and those in a long-term relationship outside marriage.
