We can write and read a lot of well-thought-out material on
how to keep a marriage together. We can research how others
have sustained a long-term relationship. We can attend classes
and seminars to learn how to beat the odds.

The best state of a good marriage is to forget the statistically
bad news, and the odds, and become aware that you can
accomplish a beautiful connection if you look into each other’s
eyes.

Devote time and private space to practice. Sit comfortably and
hold hands. Look deeply into your partner’s eyes. Be silent or
speak softly words of love. Add joy and charm to your session by
burning incense, lighting a candle, or playing music. But look,
look deeply.
