Recently, I visited a friend who is going through one of the most stressful times in a marriage—the arrival of baby number two. Their attention is now divided between two children, with its juggling of daycare and jobs, and […]
It amazes me to see this Global Glue couple, Helen and Sydney, after 70 years of marriage, appear to get butterflies when they kiss. The look on Helen’s face is that of a schoolgirl who just kissed her childhood crush in this must-see 35-second clip. My brother (DJ Pierce) and I are the team behind […]
Through Global Glue Project, for over four years I have been listening to the stories of how couples met, what the glue is that keeps them together, and what obstacles they have overcome. One of the fascinating commonalities to the stories is the number of couples who experienced love at first site. Many couples report […]
