Recommended Resources

Those who are in long-term, committed relationships are the ones who have to do their part and do the work to resolve their issues and increase their relational satisfaction.
          But honestly, at times we all need help.  No conference or book is an "end all" or "be all" resource.  But research demonstrates that if you have an opportunity to go to a conference to improve your relationship, chances are that those who do will be glad they did.
          Some issues like addictions and mental health are especially difficult.  We need competent "helpers" and resources beyond our ability at Celebrate Marriage LLC.
