Special guest Tim Roberts joins Kevin Evans to discuss the secrets of making a long term relationship work. Tim has been married for 40 years, has five children and eight grandkids. Kevin got divorced after a 23 year marriage and is now dating again.

There is no such thing as a perfect relationship. It's a fallacy and takes effort, commitment and determination by both parties to make it work.

There are three stages in a relationship: Honeymoon Phase; Family Phase; Empty Nester Phase. Most are prepared for the first two, but don't prepare for the third.

To have a successful relationship, a couple needs to focus on making it work and avoiding pitfalls.

Secrets of a successful relationship include:

  • Communication: Listen and practice empathy
  • Honesty. Your partner is your confidant
  • Praise in public, Criticize in private
  • Trust. Respect boundaries
  • Fight fair. Don't name call or rehash past infractions
  • Don't go to bed angry
  • Grow as a person and couple, don't CHANGE. There is a difference
  • Compromise and balance
  • Intimacy is critical, both physical and emotional
  • Keep romance alive. Water and fertilize the relationship
  • Don't compare the relationship or your partner to others
  • Support
