Renovate Your Way To Love
How a fixer-upper first home became one couple's labor of love.
by Emily Bolls
And I fall in love with Ryan a bit more too—for his commitment to our home, his fastidiousness and dedication to exceptional work, and his utter fearlessness in the face of obstacles I never could have tackled on my own.
So while it may never be my dream home, the house is our labor of love, and that counts for a lot.

Emily,
I am also in public relations and I workfor two authors who have written a workbook for couples who are building a house or renovating together. The authors built a home in 2006, and even though they are both therapists the process was challenging to their relationship -as it apparently is for anyone who builds or renovates with the one they love. They created this workbook, Building a House Together: A Couple’s Guide to Managing Their Relationship During the Construction Process, to offer support to couples like you and Ryan during a process that can get
- as you described - increasingly stressful. The workbook is available on their website (www.buildingahousetogether.com) and I believe it would be speaking your language were you to check it out. I really enjoyed your article. Good luck!
