Creating Well-Being for Couples and Families

Individual, couple, and family health and happiness give you energy, time, and well-being to build unity with friends and family, participate in excellent work, and engage in community service. You are kind to yourself and others. You show up. You make a positive contribution. When you are united in creating well-being, you are healthier as individuals and in your relationship. This book features 28 short focus topics for young couples and young parents with full lives; aspects of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being; content based on science and the Baha'i Faith; and tools for couples to collaborate, accompany, and encourage each other and their children. Throughout are stories from couples and families building well-being. Topics include: exercise, nutrition, relaxation, sleep, illness, time, friendship, dates, cleanliness, sex, parenting, family, work, money, communication, listening, appreciation, feelings, decisions, humor, nature, creativity, resilience, resourcefulness, spirituality, service, unity, and character. Consider this: "Eating right and moving more-especially if we want to do these things on a regular basis and over a long span of time-are easier when we are inspired, cajoled, praised, and supported by the people who matter the most to us in our daily lives."
