3 Rs of Relationship Fitness Help Couple Wallpaper Bathroom

Here's some great feedback we had from a reader:

This couple has been married for over 40 years. The closest they ever came to divorce was when they did a wallpapering project years ago. Recently, a bathroom in their home needed to be wallpapered, so they were feeling apprehensive about approaching this task together. But they had been reading Ballroom Dancing Is Not for Sissies , so they decided to apply the 3 Rs of Relationship Fitness to their wallpapering project.

They agreed to embark upon their wallpapering with a sense of Respect for themselves and each other, to take Responsibility for their part of the project and only their part, and to be Responsive to each other throughout. Not only did they not fight, they had a wonderful time doing their project!
