Do you long for your personal relationship to be as strong and fulfilling as your work?
Does everyone else's relationships seem better than yours?
Are you beginning to wonder if you should ditch your spouse, and just be married to your business?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, it is time for you to TAKE the REINS.
Appearances can be Deceptive
My husband took this photo of me, and although I look happy, I'm not. I may be smiling, but I'm actually super frustrated and in the middle of an argument.
Most couples have rough times, but choose to hide them from the outside world. Just because a couple looks happy, it doesn't mean they are. It also means some couples who frequently argue, may be very happy.
I believe it is time to be more authentic about our personal relationships, so we can learn from each other. The first step is to find a safe place to do this.
Take the Reins is a safe place where you can vent, share, and celebrate with women who understand what you are going through.
Benefits of Marriage
I am not suggesting everyone should stay married. There are some relationships that just aren't meant to be. The benefits of marriage apply to satisfying relationships, not ones that are teetering on the brink of collapse. There are however, some compelling reasons why you should invest time and effort in your marriage to make it a happy one.
You will be Healthier, and Live Longer
The health benefits of being part of a satisfying marriage have stood the test of time. Research continues to support this theory.
It is Financially Beneficial
Married couples earn more together and have less expenses than if they were living by themselves. Research shows they also manage money better and build more wealth together.
It Boosts your Happiness
One study showed that 40% of married people said they were very happy with their lives, compared to only 18% of divorced adults.

Relationships are Journeys
Healthy relationships journey through three stages of growth. We start by wanting to spend all our time together, then we balance time together with time apart. Couples who learn to balance connection and separation will find themselves in the last and most rewarding stage. Couples who achieve this frequently say they have never been happier.
Too often, couples get stuck in the second stage and find themselves in a power struggle with one person thinking they need to be together more, and the other one advocating for individual space.
Few relationships are spared from navigating rough times. It isn't being faced with difficulties that causes marriages to falter, but how we deal with those situations.
"Just as poised as she is hilarious, Reen is masterful at illustrating how to go from depressed and frustrated to truly happy. She not only uses her story to inspire, but gives incredible insight so you can make the same journey."
A little bit about me
I am an experienced educator, author of three books on happiness, and a self proclaimed happiness maven. The benefits of living a happy life are scientifically proven, and well documented.
My marriage of 29 years has been a challenge, but somehow my husband and I have navigated from the honey moon phase, into a couple of decades of very rocky times, and finally to a place where we have never been happier.
There is no magic map or recipe, but you can learn from my mistakes. If only I knew then what I know now, it might not have taken us so long to get to the happy place we are now.
