b"There\\u2019s a reason that things are so good at the beginning of a relationship... Both you and your partner\\xa0are putting forth effort into making\\xa0the relationship\\xa0work, into learning all about each other, and being on your best behavior. Then comes the ring, the wedding and life: kids, bills, obligations and the two of you... well you get relegated to the back burner. All those little things that were so important in the beginning don\\u2019t seem so important as the two of you have the stability and commitment of the marriage. The reality is a different story though. When you don't invest in your marriage and get back to basics this is a recipe for disaster. Why? Because your spouse's need\\xa0to know that they are\\xa0valued and desired. In this week's show Tony and Alisa\\xa0talk about going back to basics and the importance of continuing to do what you did at the beginning of the relationship to your spouse.
