The Successful Marriage is a proven system that shows you how to:
– Rebuild your emotional connection with your spouse—even when cultural differences are tearing you apart.
– Communicate effectively without arguments, shouting, or cold silences.
– Navigate the financial stress of living in a foreign country, so money doesn’t create tension in your marriage.
– Blend your African values with your new life abroad, so you don’t feel like you’re losing yourself or your relationship.
– Keep the romance alive, even when stress and life abroad feel overwhelming.
– Plan for a future together, no matter where life takes you.
Couples must be ready to E.M.B.R.A.C.E.
