What do blueberry pancakes and butterflies have to do with your happily ever after?

They’re part of divorce mediator Joe Dillon’s advice for staying married.

I’m a relationship coach. It's odd that I would want to introduce you to a divorce mediator, but he has so much great information to share with us about what he sees when it comes to divorces:

1. I found Joe Dillon online and his body of work was so extensive that I wanted to share it with you.
2. Joe is going to help you understand what typical patterns bring people to his office so that you can use those as a cautionary tale.
3. He'll also tell you what butterflies and blueberry pancakes have to do with your happily ever after.

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

This week’s habit helps you make space for the individual inside of the shared life.

Joe and Cheryl have regular marriage meetings, and it was at one of these meetings that they exchanged legal pads full of their bucket list items. This helped them realize that even though they share a life, they may not share every dream. Joe and Cheryl decided that although they live in Southern California where there's a beach for Cheryl, they'll take a month during the year to move to Chicago so that Joe can get his city fix.

I invite you to trade bucket lists with your partner. What dreams do you share? Where will you have to compromise?
