Cleaving = Unity

As a couple you need to indulge in those things that are most delicious to you

on this date it is dessert only! 

All types of commitment are important, just like epoxy glue: Mixing the two components gives married couples a super strong bond. Sometimes married couples want to have a 5 minute easy fix to their marital problems. Glue can fix things that are broken but there are still cracks underneath it all. If problems get left unresolved it is much harder to fix them as the years go by as they've had had a chance to build up residue. Having a smooth surface, one that is free of cracks, allows a relationship to have a super strong hold.  

The skill for couples to learn is how to resolve differences in a more healthier way, with active listening instead of impatient listening, and moderating unrealistic expectations by spending an evening alone together each week. Each spouse needs to cleave to the other. 

Spending an evening together does not take much work, and it does not need to cost anything. Just by simply taking that time shows your commitment and love to each other. The dedication to your relationship will keep your bond strong just like epoxy glue. Research shows that personally dedicated couples show a greater priority for the relationship, feel greater satisfaction with giving, and are less likely to seek greener marital pastures (Stanley, 2005).

Remember

Cleaving = Unity
