I have had multiple relationships during my marriage, all with the same woman for more than fifty years. Commitment to our union and love for each other helped us to adjust to life's challenges. The reader will understand that marriage is a series of relationships, the dynamics of which are not totally exclusive of each other but distinct enough that they require adjustment in the way a couple interacts with each other. Changes related to their human development, finances, work, children, natural disasters, religion and spirituality, and more usher in a different way of interaction and response by each partner. Giving attention to the impact of these factors on one's marriage is critical for marital happiness, stability, and longevity.
