A warm embrace, a knowing glance, and intentionally spoken kind words... These are the simple, but often forgotten ingredients of creating lasting love.

This week our guest is Dr. Ellen Wachtel. Ellen has a Ph.D in clinical psychology from New York University as well as a law degree from Harvard Law School. She has been a couples therapist for over 30 years and taught thousands of couples how to have a loving relationship that will endure through the decades.

Even when you feel like giving up on a relationship or marriage, you can recapture why you fell in love in the first place. Dr. Wachtel promises that there is more and suggests simple ways to keep vitality in relationships.
