49 Years Later, They're Still Each Other's Favorite Date

What does it look like to build a marriage where kindness becomes second nature?I spend a lot of time helping couples figure out how to make their relationship work. Today, you'll hear a conversation with Jamee and Doug Simons, a couple who have spent nearly 50 years creating the marriage many people hope to build.You’ll hear what it was like for Jamee and Doug to take of a family business and balance their partnership at work with cultivating a loving marriage at homeAnd you’ll hear how the kindness and generosity they foster in their community is ever-present in their relationship.Jamee and Doug are third-generation owners of Enstrom Candies. They bought the business from Jamee's parents, Emil and Mary, in 1993. It's not easy to work side by side all day, then go home to raise children. They did it for decades. While Doug and Jamee were quick to admit there have been bumps along the way, I was struck by the generosity they bring to their relationship, their commitment to supporting each other, and their refusal to keep score. I hope their story inspires you as much as it inspired me.Connect with my guestRead their story: enstrom.com/pages/our-storyWebsite: enstrom.comInstagram: instagram.com/enstromcandiesConnect to Improve Your Relationship CommunicationVisit the show notes.Buy my book.Listen to my book.Please subscribe to my newsletter here.
