I read a great article where Dr. Michelle Golland breaks down why the Obama marriage is good for us to see. Here’s an excerpt:

Barack Obama made a promise to his wife, Michelle, that after the campaign was over he would take her to a Broadway play. As our president, he made good on his promise to his wife. We should be proud of that fact. As partners, we make promises to each other that if not fulfilled can fester and create resentment and anger. I believe to be successful at our jobs and in our family life we need to keep the “couplehood” of our lives high on the priority list. It is easy to let this get pushed down by work commitments and the schedules of our children’s busy lives, but once it is off the list I promise you that you will find yourself on your way to a disconnected and unfulfilling marriage.

The article talks about losing your couple connection due to the stresses of work and children and what you can do to keep it using the Obamas as an example. Please check it out if you get a chance.
