How to have a successful, happy marriage (and partnership) is the focus of this podcast mini-series. Many of our real estate training and coaching clients have asked us how to structure a business and marriage without one being at the cost of the other. Today's show is part 1 of 6. Let us know what you think about this topic and these points...we are considering writing a book about this topic. 
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is a success.” – Henry Ford

- Education
- Lifestyle expectations...describe your dream house and compare notes
- Where you want to live geographically

2 - Realize that marriage is a constantly evolving relationship. How you feel about your spouse when you are newlyweds will not be the same in 3 years, 5 years, maybe even after a few months. That's normal. Be willing to evolve together.  
3 - Don't hang out with people who have marriage issues. Birds of a feather flock together. You will absorb their stress and start inadvertently mirroring it in your own relationship.
Tip: Don't have out with your single friends. Make new friends with people who have long-term marriages.
