I HEAR YOU’RE AFRAID OF DYING OR AFRAID SOMEONE YOU LOVE WILL DIE BEFORE YOU this stage of their journey and return to their former state, and do so with our prayers and presence as well as our good hopes and intentions." My divorce led me to write a book and create a seminar. Soon after my first wife and I separated it became clear to me that I did not know the ingredients that make up a healthy marriage or long-term intimate relationship. So I took classes from Howard Markman at the University of Denver. I learned more about healthy relationships during that time than I had previously known. It was there he introduced us to the research, work and teaching of John and Julie Gottman, 3 David Olson, 4 and Smart Marriages headed by Diane Sollee. 5 Markman, Gottman, Olson and Sollee’s efforts led me to writing a book about how to create a marriage that is healthy enough to last a lifetime. 6 I also developed a seminar for every couple I marry. 7 3 www.gottman.com 4 www.dibbleinstitute.org/david-olson 5 www.smartmarriages.com/index.html 6 The Marriage Maze, McLaird’s Guide for the Journey 7 Titled ‘Mastering the Marital Arts’ 48
REV. GEORGE MCLAIRD Getting that divorce turned out to be the bravest thing I ever did. It was also an experience of placing my cards on the table face up and telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth; i.e., my marriage didn’t work and it needed to end. Additionally I wrote poems about my failed marriage and the sadness I felt. All this has led to my 32-year marriage to Linda. These have been the easiest, most loving, most productive and happiest years of my life. So after the most severe death I experienced in my life, my first marriage, I experienced a profound resurrection, now 32 years and going strong. But as you can see, it didn't just happen on its own; it took diligent study and application. Start now making plans and arrangements to hold some type of memorial service for your now dead marriage or loving relationship 49
