Getting Started With Blanshard Blanshard
We love writing relationship books together. We start off making notes. Often the notes are a few years old and on scraps of paper. We combine and share these. We work on the book sitting side by side! The title, design,edits we work on these together. The third book we wrote was Make Love Last. The front cover image happens to be a photgraph we took on the first night we moved to a house by the lake. The magic of the moonlight photo it wasn't planned. We did not know at the time that this would be the cover for our latest book-Fly Me To The Moon And Back: Make Love Last (Forever and a Day),
Why are we so interested in relationships and what makes us "experts"? Well we figure being together this long, we must be doing something right! People always asked us what our secret was. How come we stayed together for forty years. How come you guys are REALLY HAPPY just being together.
It was a classic case of live at first sight. We met young and fell in love without really knowing who we had fallen in love with. Statistically facts were aganst us. We were university students without a great deal of money. Yet within 10 years we has added two children, three Siamese cats, four goldfish, two cars and a house with a large mortgage to our relationship.
We have been together for a while now! In 39 years we have figured lots of things out. So anyone reading our books may be able to save a marriage or save themselves some time!
Yes, we still look at each other with interest. other people notice and so many people asked us our secret...why are you guys so happy! There is an obvious , intimate connection people pick up on. They ask us and we say of course physcial attraction, passion and intimacy and sex has a lot to do with it. But what we figured out is this. if you want a relationship to last, you've got to do some work to make it happen.
Relationships don't just happen. More likely you are made for each other. But if you want to do the distance , loving a long time, it won't just happen. You make it happen. We take love relationships seriously. We keep writing our relationship books together because we both believe in lasting love and in creative, dynamic, long term relationships.
