My name is Laura Gutjahr.
I grew up believing that there was one special person out there and I just needed to find him. Fate would ensure that our paths crossed at the right time. We would live happily ever after.
Over time I realized that finding a partner had a lot more to do with personal choices than fate. I had to figure out what my life goals were and find someone who shared similar goals and had similar values. I also needed that person to be my friend. This involved a lot more work than my original theory.
I've been happily married for 22 years and offer the following relationship advice:
Expect a lot from your partner - and give at least as much in return.
Always treat your partner as if he were your best friend, he should be.
Don't stop working on your relationship - if you do it will end.
