For Day 17 of the 30-Day Ingredient Coach4aday Challenge I am determining what might be the most important item in a MARRIAGE.

Social Scientists can capture all types of data on different types of relationships. Licensed marriage counselors can rattle off issues that troubled couples often have to deal with. Siblings seem to have a unique sense of what spousal qualities will work for their brother or sister. To compose this post, I decided to discount data, or counseling expertise, or family opinions and go in a different direction.

The #1 Ingredient

Today is my bride’s birthday.

My wife Mira Kenney

We have been married for 42 years. One of the gifts I want her to receive today is to be recognized as the Number One Ingredient in our Marriage. Having her be my best friend has been a godsend. Our friendship is born out of her being so spiritual grounded and truly approaching life with a servant leader heart.

Go researching the ingredients that long lasting couples have in common with one another and you may see a list like the one below.

For me all of those key ingredients are embodied when I look at my wife. Happy Birthday Mira-Love You!

Coach4aday

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
