about his wife. “We thought it
was because we’re so similar, al-
though the class revealed we are
exact opposites.”
His wife is neat and organized,
and he is more fast-paced with a
dump it and move on to the next
project attitude, he said.
“ I know with her, if I can just needs for an open trusting and ful-
take two minutes to put all that
stuff away she will feel a lot bet-
ter about it,” March said. “ We fig- ful of what Chaplain Corps can of-
ured out the keys to working with
each other and what each other
needs. It’s knowing the why behind
(those) needs.”
March said he learned that op-
posites can complement each other.
“I think it is important to be
open-minded, even in business,
surrounding yourself with peo-
ple who are better than you in
areas you are weak is the way to
go,” he said. “Why should life be
any different?”
The magic to making a marriage
work, Rodgers said to the partici-
pants, is hard work and learning.
“There’s lots of good curriculum
out there to do the right things.

closer by meeting one another’s

“These classes are only a hand-
fer,” said Chaplain William Yates,
an ANG colonel. “There are over
13 blocks in the Strong Bonds
training for singles, couples and
families, and evidence-based re-
search that shows these programs
achieve goals.”
Divorce rates are lower in couples
who have attended Strong Bonds
than those who have not, Yates said.
“It is important to me to know
if the programs we provide Airmen
are actually working.”
