Theirs is a practical as well as loving bond. Cambridge, Mass. therapists Richard and AntraKalnins Borofsky, counsel couples in tandem by openly exploring their own 21-year marriage. "What we're doing here is not just being coworkers—we're actually showing our relationship: The way we work together is the meszsage as much as whatever we say," Richard told the Boston Globe in a recent interview. So what is the message? Learn how connection is created and sustained. It is created by paying attention to what is happening in the present moment. "Relating is an exchange in which something is given and something is received," says Richard, "and the ease and frequency of exchanges between people determine how deep the bond is." And how can fighting help a relationship? "The fight is simply that we're both hungry for attention," says Antra. "The question is which one of us is more hungrywho needs to be fed first. And who has some attention to give." "The short and long of love is attention, the quality of awareness, the art of attentiveness," says Richard. "We're the only people I know who have this sort of focus."
