To celebrate their third wedding anniversary, Anjali and Rahul are each selecting a surprise activity to do together. This happy couple loves spontaneity, so they’re concerned about someday growing bored in their relationship. They’re also feeling pressure to mark the traditional milestones of marriage, including having kids. On this episode of How To!, authors Caryl and Jay Casbon join us to share the wisdom they gained from interviewing other married couples for their book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Side-Sacred-Couples-Aging-Wisdom/dp/1959921045?tag=slatmaga-20">Side by Side</a>. The Casbons draw upon their own 22-year marriage to urge Anjali and Rahul to face conflict with openness and focus on individual “inner work”—in order to grow together. Learn more about Caryl and Jay Casbon <a href="https://sidebysideaging.com/">here</a>.
