I’m a marriage expert

Porch, liking a blog I did on the occasion of my thirtieth wedding anniversary in 2019, invited me to contribute to a series, Newlyweds and Couples Moving In Together – Experts’ Advice, on the topic of “What would you advise a newlywed couple for a long-lasting and satisfying marriage?”  My contribution is midway through.

While my bride has a mental health professional background, I’m simply a lawyer who’s been in counseling a lot—and needed it.  That someone finds me a marriage expert is as unlikely as the lone person who once told me I was modest. Most of the folks offering advice have much better credentials than I do.

But opinionated I am and I have an opinion—easy to explain; hard to do—on how to make marriage (or any relationship) work: be kind.
