Your Pet Can Help Improve Your Marriage or Relationship!

Can owning a pet improve your relationship or marriage?  The answer is YES!  Setting boundaries with your pet, however, is key.  If your pet sleeps between you in a way that interferes with intimacy, interrupts your conversations at the dinner table, or prevents you from vacationing alone with your partner, then it’s time to hire a trainer to help you set boundaries with your pet.  Boundaries aside, how you love your pet can be a fabulous template for how to love your mate. Think about this:

1. No matter your mood, you greet your pet in a positive, animated way.
2. You practice forgiveness with your pet. No matter whether your pet pees or poops in the house or tears up a favorite shoe, you are quick to forgive rather than hold a grudge.
3. You are free with physical affection toward your pet.  Your pet gets hugs, kisses, rubs, and sometimes full-body massages!
