049 - Creating A Partnership, Not Finding One: Ahri & Jay Part 1

Choosing romance and creating partnership, rather than simply finding those things - that is what we’re discussing in week’s episodes. There is an idea we all live with to some degree that love is something that just happens to us. That it’s  a matter of luck or happenstance. But most of us also have a sense that we’re much more in control than we let on. Where that line is drawn between control and luck is an ongoing mystery. And it’s a mystery that our couple this week, Ahri and Jay Golden, absolutely love to explore. From the story of how they met and created their marriage (which comprises episode 1), to their very unique approach to managing conflict (which is episode 2), this couple works to take responsibility for their own lives, and it shows. We’re also releasing three articles this week that dovetail with our episodes. They’re all about intentionally taking control of our experience of our own relationships, and you can find them on our website: www.together.guide/magazine. I hope you’ll read them and let us know what you think. You can learn more about Ahri at her website: http://www.ahrigolden.com/ -  she’s a radio producer and photographer, and you can see her work there. You can learn more about Jay at http://wakingstar.com/ - Jay works with companies and organizations to craft the stories that tell the world who and what they are. So with that, let’s go to part 1 of our interview with Ahri and Jay Golden.
