Maintenance is Key

Why Worry about Upkeep?
Last week, finishing up another car wash, sweaty and tired, the thought occurred to me: why do all this work? It’s only going to wear out eventually. Cars don’t last forever. And the answer is simple: I want my car to last as long as possible. I don’t want to replace it anytime soon.
And then a different thought occurred to me. Do I invest as much in something that won’t (or shouldn’t) wear out? Say, for instance, my marriage. I attend to details with my car. Can I say the same about my marriage? How much time have I spent in the past month (or year) on my most important relationship—one meant to last a lifetime? Am I paying attention or on autopilot? Do the mechanics of marriage matter to me as much as the mechanics of my car? I know my marriage matters more, but I’m not sure you could prove it by the time I devote to it.
I Want My Marriage to Last
I want to do better on that count. And if you do too, then Hold Me Tight®️ may be just the ticket. A Hold Me Tight®️ couples retreat is great maintenance for any relationship. It’s two days devoted to your one relationship meant to last a lifetime. Hold Me Tight®️ is a low key group experience with other couples that will help you keep your love in tip top shape. You’ll learn simple ways to interrupt small problems early and heal bigger ones that you thought you’d never work out.
Hold Me Tight®️ is based on decades of attachment science and the powerful tenets of Emotionally Focused Therapy. But, it isn’t therapy. It’s simply learning together, with and from other couples. You’ll make sense of struggles that often don’t. And you’ll have time for private conversations to practice the new skills you’re learning. No one is put on the spot. You can go at your own pace...and leave with the confidence and the competence that you never knew you could have.
Hold Me Tight Can Help
Cars don’t last forever. Marriages can. Making yours last for the long run is not at hard as you might think. Your love is worth everything you invest in it. And Hold Me Tight®️ may be the best two days you’ll ever spend.
Our next workshop is in Orlando in August. Or, if you like a change of scenery, we’ll be in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, NC in October at the fabulous Art of Living Retreat Center. These are in person workshops and they can make a world of difference. Find the retreat that works for you at www.hmtcouplesworkshops.com. Here’s to a love that lasts a lifetime!
