Attempting to write about sex within a 10, 20, or even 40-year partnership is akin to me writing about politics or knitting: I can’t speak intelligently to either. The reality of my personal experience in long-term partnership doesn’t exactly fit the definition of long-term, hovering around the 3-year mark. Which is exactly why the wisdom […]
For anyone who doesn’t know this, my sister Gillian & I are the co-founders of Global Glue Project. Yes, we are in fact, siblings. Related by blood. People react to this information in a variety of ways: “Oooo… that’s so sweet! You work with your sister. I could never do it, but that’s awesome!” or […]
It’s hard to imagine Nancy & Barry, clearly in love and at peace with 42 years together, getting into dramatic conflicts in their earlier years. Currently, their favorite activities are grand-parenting and quiet time together, yet Nancy recalls times when they would “Pull the car up stopping on the side of the road screaming and […]
Could relationships be improved if more couples practiced yoga together? Just last weekend I attended the Yoga Journal Conference in Colorado. At a glance I would guess that 75-85% of attendees were women. Arguably, when a woman takes the time for self-care and uses her yoga practice as a practice for self-acceptance, it will inevitably […]

Last February, we began holding community screening […]
The surest path to long-term relationship is removing the need to be right. As long as you remain locked to the idea that, “my way is the right way,” and that there is no middle ground to be found, then there is no “we.” If only one person is ruling the show, then essentially there […]
Every so often we receive emails about Global Glue Project that act as the oxygen we breathe to survive. Global Glue is a passion project, one that is fueled by our belief that these stories matter and have the potential to impact the world, but until we started receiving that feedback, we didn’t actually know if […]
People ask me all the time for the secret to life-long relationships, and I often answer that it has more to do with behaviors than love. Coming to terms with the fact that love may not be enough is a painful reality. Love is just one facet; the behaviors we choose in relationship are the […]
My quest to find the answer on how couples stick together is completely driven by my own cataclysmic failures in relationship. During the entire 20 years of my adult life, I have strung together 2-year relationships, give or take, including one that led to a 6-month marriage. If you were to ask me why I […]
