About the GREAT Relationship Masters Project

The world is rife with examples of bad marriages and failed relationships. Two questions:

1. Can you easily list the first 10 marriages you don’t want to have that come to your mind? Sure. Easy.
2. Can you list 10 marriages/relationships you consider great and lasting off the top of your head? Most can’t.

And that’s the problem. How can we create greatness if we can’t study it and observe it?

Well, this is beyond the stuffy (albeit important) scholarly research on healthy relationships. This is not about idealized love. It is about real examples of greatness that we can learn much from. This is about providing a place to study greatness. Many youth and adults have repeatedly confided in my that they don’t know what a great relationship looks like, if they even exist, and that sadly, their observation for the most part is that relationships “suck”. The GREAT Relationship Masters blog is a place to showcase real-life (and a few superb fictional) examples of how historical, famous and current and non-famous couples have figured it out and done so magnificently.

Please feel free to post your own examples in the comments and/or email them to me to be included in a featured blog.

Peace,

Jonathan
