77377 Kleb Woods Nature Preserve Trails


            Kleb Woods has a nature preserve, nature center and historic farm and is located at 20303 Draper Road. This hidden gem has a 2.2 mile loop trail that’s lined with wild flowers and is easy enough for all skill levels. It’s accessible year round and is used for hiking and running. Before starting the trail, visit the nature center and learn the story of how Kleb Woods came to be! Be aware that dogs are not permitted. 



As you enjoy the great outdoors, remember back to your wedding day and honeymoon.
  •  How did you feel when you first saw each other on your wedding day? 
  • What commitments did you make to each other? 
  • How would you describe the feelings you had as you shared your wedding night together? 
  • If you experienced a honeymoon, where did you go? 
  • What is your favorite memory from your honeymoon? 
  •  
     
          Why would you discuss positive moments in your marital history? As you probably know, your spouse has a few flaws. Your husband leaves his dirty socks in the living room or your wife squeezes the toothpaste from the middle. Maybe your husband has a short temper or your wife is overly sensitive. We all have things that make our spouse bite their tongue or clench their jaw a little. But John Gottman's principle of fondness and admiration says that despite these flaws, you should still feel that your spouse is worthy of love and respect. In general, you like who you  married and can point out their positive qualities. 

          As you increase fondness and admiration, it's easier to see your spouse's good qualities. This will help you keep the flaws minimal instead of making them a reason for contention. One way to increase fondness and admiration is to, you guessed it, talk about your history. As you remember back to those beginning days with each other, you see the things that first attracted you to your spouse. And by the way, Gottman found that 94% of couples who put a positive spin on their history together are likely to have a happy future (John Gottman, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work).
