A Great Dream Leads To A Great Marriage

Sep-2011

Max,

With Valentine’s Day just behind us, here’s a different take on what makes a great marriage!

Dr. Neil Clark Warren, one of the nation's foremost relationship experts, connects the quality of your dreams to the quality of your marriage: “Sometimes I wonder if it is really possible to dream such a big dream that it is actually beyond what we can finally attain. In fact, I have begun to sense that the greatness of a marriage is correlated to the size and passion of the dream two lovers have for their lives together. Magnificent marriages involve two people who dream magnificently. The partners encourage each other to dig deeper and dream bigger, and in the process they get in touch with a level of being and doing that otherwise would be far beyond them.’ (Neil Clark Warren, The Triumphant Marriage, 18.)
