Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Do you have a dog? Or used to? I have a Papillion. He was a rescue dog. Every time I get home, whether it’s only been 30 minutes or three hours, he literally leaps all around me. He wiggles, and bounces, and boings side-to-side. By then I am laughing and smiling. He runs around the yard leaping four to six feet at a time, and then runs back to me. By then he’s panting and has worn himself out enough for me to be able to pet him.

This, readers, is unconditional love.

What would your relationship feel like if you were greeted by your beloved every day with joy and enthusiasm, just because it’s you coming home?

(I know: There are still a bunch of chores, childcare, dinner, email etc. calling to you. And they always will be.)

Please experiment with greeting each other with unconditional love, gratitude, and genuine pleasure to see one another for 30 days.

Then login and let me know how it’s going. Have you noticed anything different? What? How do you feel? How is your sex life? How are you handling things you don’t agree about?
