ASK SARAH: tips for keeping your love life healthy?

hi sarah,

i come from a family of divorce and i worry a lot about my own marriage failing.  we're newlyweds and things are great, but i think that's the case for most newlyweds.  i'm wondering if you have any advice for us.  it seems like you and lou have a good thing going.  thanks!  - cassie
