My first marriage gave me a daughter-and now son-in-law and two granddaughters. However, it was very difficult, as he had many illnesses. The marriage ended in divorce when our daughter was 18. I married again, a very happy marriage, with three young adult stepchildren. We did marriage preparation and marriage enrichment efforts together. This second husband died from brain cancer just before our 10th wedding anniversary, after two years of caregiving. Matching websites, dating experiences, and moving led me to find a third husband with two adult stepchildren, and we are in a happy marriage. With all these adventures, as well as professional education, I've had many opportunities to experience, observe, and learn from the world of connecting and finding someone to marry and then building a good marriage. It has not been easy, but when I've learned marriage skills and when marriage works well with love, friendship, and consultation, it's absolutely the best place to be. Susanne is originally from Canada and now lives with her husband Phil Donihe in Tennessee, in the United States. They often collaborate in working with couples. Read More Read Less
