Marriage is Not a Path to Personal Happiness

There are a lot of misconceptions about marriage that create fear for many people. Marriage takes a lot of work; it requires you to give up your independence; it’s a 50/50 crap shoot; and many others. If all those things were actually true, I would be scared of marriage too.

But the truth is that there is a very simple path you can take to have a successful marriage. Dr. Kelly Flanagan, clinical psychologist, blogger on UnTangled, and author of Marriage Manifesto: Turning Your World Upside Down (http://drkellyflanagan.com/ebook-the-marriage-manifesto/), shares this technique with you on today’s show. As always, share your comments and show ideas with Lesli (http://www.afearlessmarriage.com/) and @LesliDoares.
