“Healthy relationships are happy relationships.” Judith A. Swack, Ph.D.

What is marriage? At its best it is a lifetime together, a partnership with someone you like, respect, and love. You share resources and use your differences to complement each other by sharing your strengths. This creates a synergy that stimulates continuous growth, and evolution. In a healthy marriage you:

  • Take care of each other, and do what you can to make each other happy. In other words it makes you feel happy when the other person is happy
  • Are nice to each other. Knowing your partner’s sore spots, you are gentle with them in those areas and you encourage them to get help if they need it
  • Have regular sex, and are willing to do whatever you can to preserve that form of closeness. This includes dealing with the natural physical problems of aging and age-related health problems
  • Are each better together than you are apart


Whether you’re single or in a long-term, committed relationship or marriage HBLU ™ can help you create the healthy, happy partnership you want by:


  • Discovering what type of relationship you are ready for.

One of my favorite projects is getting people happily married. To do that I did quite a bit of original research and discovered that just as there are psychological child development stages, there are 3 psychological relationship readiness stages.

Sally and Frank came to me with the complaint, “He/she doesn’t love me.” When I asked Sally what Frank could do to make her feel loved, she said, “He needs to tell me I’m beautiful.” Further exploration revealed that she needed to hear this once a day. Although we tested other adjectives like gorgeous, fantastic, pretty, cute, adorable, fabulous, wonderful, terrific…no other adjective gave her the feeling of being loved. Frank agreed to do this one simple thing. In contrast, Frank needed someone to pet his head (anywhere on his head) about once a week to feel loved. Sally agreed to do this.
