A Moment not to Miss

I’m an amateur photographer (which is to say, I spend money at it rather than make money at it). Photography is all about light. Often, the right light is the difference between just a snapshot and a memorable photo. Coming home from the beach a couple of weeks ago, Debbie and I were treated to a stunning sunset. It was breathtaking. I pulled off the road and stopped to photograph it. Whether a sunrise or sunset, no two are the same. They never disappoint, but something else is equally true: they never last. That stunning light just before the sun rises and just after it sets is there for just a few minutes. Five minutes after I took the photo above, that beautiful light was gone.

The most beautiful moments in life don’t wait and they don’t last. We have to notice them. We have to stop and savor them. If we miss them, we can never get them back. And that is especially true with the one we love.

John Gottman discovered in his research that the healthiest couples are careful to see and say the best in their partner and their relationship. They speak love, appreciation and positivity to one another. They seldom leave important, loving words unsaid. Beautiful moments are easy to miss and all too fleeting. Healthy couples never take them for granted. Indeed, they don’t just notice beautiful moments, they make them.

This year, on Valentine’s Day, you and your partner have a chance to share and savor two beautiful days together…a weekend not to be missed. Join me and my colleague, Vicki Kennedy at a Hold Me Tight®️ couples retreat in Orlando. Hold Me Tight®️ can bring color and vibrance to your relationship that you never thought possible.

Hold Me Tight®️ is truly for couples of any age or stage. You will learn about what draws couples together (and what pushes them apart). You’ll learn how to interrupt conflict and to connect with your partner more deeply than ever. You’ll learn to be that safe place for one another that we all want and need. Hold Me Tight®️ is low key and fun. Couples go at their own pace, no pressure. And, in just two days, many leave feeling more confident and competent than ever, seeing the beauty in their connection that they’ve been missing for too long.

Someone said, “Life is not measured in the number of breaths we take, but in the moments that take our breath away.” And the good news is that we can make those moments…beautiful moments too precious to miss. Why not share them with your loved one in Orlando next week?

Hold Me Tight®️ in Orlando will be Friday and Saturday, February 13 & 14. All the details are at www.hmtcouplesworkshops.com. It’s truly, a moment not to miss!
