"Monkey see, monkey do." We need examples to learn, yet when it comes to GREAT Relationships most people have reported to me that they actually don't know what GR's look like in real life examples. So this project is designed for just that purpose.

The GREAT Relationship (GR) Masters are:
1. Couples who have not only made it long-term, but have made it well show us a certain level of mastery; and/or
2. Couples who demonstrate key GR principles.

96-year-old Fred Stobaugh writes a song about his wife, Lorraine—the woman he's spent 75 years with and has just passed away. He then enters it in an online song-writing contest. See what happened...

The Song

A 95-year-old Peoria man isn't a musician, but the lyrics he put on paper are now being shared with the world. Fred Stobaugh said, "I was sitting here one night, oh about six weeks after she passed away and just sat here kind of hummin' a little bit and it just finally came to me."
