Welcome to my series, the A-Z of a happy and healthy relationship.

I and DJ have been together for over 23 years in total and married for 16 years. In the beginning, we had quite a fiery relationship with lots of ups and downs. I was only 15 when we got together so I have changed a lot over the years as has DJ. We have learned so much together and our relationship has evolved into a really happy and healthy marriage. 

I am not claiming to be an expert in all things relating to relationships and of course, everyone is different, but I thought that I would share my thoughts on what makes a long-lasting successful partnership, based on our experience and the lessons which we have learned. 

Once each post has gone live, I will add the link below.
