On 5 January 1976, the Family Law Act 1975 came into effect. It was passed into law by just one vote. This marked a controversial and historically significant turning point for Australian family life.

Our romantic memories are the fabric of our couple history. When we reconnect with these memories, we reinvigorate our love and emotional connection in the present and set a positive tone for our future together.

As C.S. Lewis wrote, don’t lock up your heart in a "coffin of your selfishness". Instead, love those closest to you with openness and vulnerability. Familial love like this might just be the closest one can get to Heaven on earth.

Today, St Valentine's name evokes thoughts of flowers and romantic dinners. Yet St Valentine’s true legacy speaks to something far more profound: the sacrificial nature of authentic love. 

Just as financial capital gives us resources to invest and grow, relationship capital gives us emotional resources to draw upon when life gets challenging. Every moment of genuine connection, every shared laugh, every quiet “stare” builds up this reserve.  

Is defensiveness crippling your relationship? Do you feel regularly on edge, reactive and punchy? While the intention of our instinctual reaction is to protect ourselves from harm, three things happen in a chronically defended state.
