I ’ve never really been a big believer in magic. But, I do believe in magical moments and I’ve realized the minute you come into agreement with that marriage spouse or significant other and make your personal “I” needs and wants secondary to a common cause and shared “We” goals of the team, it’s then that a magical moment is created.

Over the years my wife and I have had the awesome privilege of visiting with several other couples who had at one time been in crisis and were ill-affected by what I call the “I-Me” Syndrome, but later cured the affliction with the “Us-We” Formula.  This “I-Me” Syndrome is really subtle at first, but if left untreated and unchecked it can eventually grow into a full-blown, stage-4 relationship killer.

Many relationships have fallen victim to this not-so-silent killer and there’s absolutely no doubt that there’s many, many more to come.  But we emphatically say today that there is hope.  So, take heart today and know that the “Us-We” Formula is capable of eradicating and eliminating this disease without prejudice.

So we invite you today to find something that you and that special someone can do together and each one of you should be sure to make the other’s primary needs and wants priority.  Make sure that you’re not just on the same page in this “life” and “relationship” thing but also reading from the same books.

“Us-We” over “I-Me” is the key to increasing your chances of winning together.  Oh, and this concept is not limited to just relationships, it is equally as impactful in every facet of business and the business of life.  This unsung formula can and will deliver phenomenal results if you just commit to apply it in and on the infected areas of your life, guaranteed.

So why don’t “We” go out and create our magical moments by applying this “Us-We” Formula in our lives as we attempt to make it GREAT!  Yes, this is a breadcrumb of wisdom that maybe small in size but it’s big in results.

H ave you ever expected something specific and got something totally different? You know, kind of like when you order a cheeseburger and fries at the drive-thru window and you get home to find that you don’t have any cheese on your burger.  Ughhhh!

Well, don’t feel like you’ve been singled out because things like this happens to all of us at one time or another and it’s not just exclusive to the drive-thru window of your local fast-food joint.  This unexpected reality can happen in many areas of our lives and yes this includes the area of marriage and relationships.

I distinctly remember the time when my union between me and my bride, Karen, had the new-car smell over 15 years ago.  I readily admit I had stars in my eyes along with visions of grandeur living the perfect marriage with the perfect mate.  A few things may have been cloudy from the beginning but my expectations were not one of them.  Yes, I knew what I wanted and expected and it was simple.  I expected my wife to be just like my mama.  I can only speculate about what Karen’s expectations were for me but I’m positive she didn’t get fully what she anticipated.

So I tell my wife this morning, “We’re going to co-author a book together.”  Then she says, “Not today honey, I’ve got a headache.”  LOL…  Her quick wit is one of the many things that keeps me coming back for more.  After 18 years of courtship and marriage we still manage to make it work.

I met a new acquaintance at a Christmas Party a few days ago that expressed to me a concern about authors and therapist.  She asked the question, “Is it true that their relationships really are as good as they make them out to be?”  After a couple of seconds of thought, I simple told her that I can’t speak for all however I can speak for me and my wife.
