(page 1 of 2)
Love takes work. And couples could always use a little more help when it comes to navigating the marriage obstacle course. Take it from Drexel Hill’s Willie Owens. A former All-American hurdler and pro football linebacker, Owens is a personal trainer at Ellis Athletic Center in Newtown Square. He’s also a devoted husband of 13 years and author of the new book, How to Not Get a Divorce. He’s not an expert in the conventional sense, but he’s convinced that anyone can keep romance alive while maintaining a cool head amid the ups and downs of any relationship.
MLT: Why did you decide to write this book?
WO: I’m married, and my parents were married for 45 years before my dad died, and the whole family unit and marriage means a whole lot to me. In this day and age, with reality TV and the way things go politically and socially, a lot of people jump into a marriage and they don’t even take into account what the purpose of a marriage is or what it means. I wrote the book out of my own personal experience with how I feel about marriage.
