You definitely have a lot of experience and everything I am seeing here is coming from someone who is matured.

Your recipes for making your relationship a healthy one are all on point, thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you very much, Dee, watching my parents and other couples while growing up shaped my relationship approach.
