Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Marriage Therapist. I wrote The Joy of Marriage Getaways: Fire Up Your Relationship with 26 Ways to the “Zone of Us” to inspire couples to set aside time to be together during their busy life of constant “Kiddy-time”. It is my first book. I create weekends for couples who need help with communicating and other difficult life issues in Private Couple Retreats on the North Carolina Coast.
I have been influenced by John Gottman, Ph.D. who wrote the well-known book, The Seven Principles of Making a Marriage Work. My training as a Certified Gottman Method Therapist emphatically helps partners talk with each other with better results. I mention Dr. Gottman’s work 39 times in The Joy of Marriage Getaways. I have also been influenced by Gary Chapman’s many books, especially The Five Love Languages.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
My husband, Jim, always tells me that if I am able to help even one couple, all the effort that it takes to write will be worthwhile. I try to think about that one couple for whom this particular book could make a difference.
