In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d talk a bit about love and relationships when someone in the mix has bipolar. The divorce rate for marriages involving at least one person with bipolar is 90%, compared to the 40% divorce rate for all marriages. Wow, that’s scary high! I definitely plan on staying in the other 10% with my husband Bryan. Here’s a little insight into our relationship from the very beginning and why Bryan is such a good partner to me, someone living with bipolar type 1. The partners of those of us with bipolar, those incredible partners who can handle it and do so with grace, are the real heroes.

Do you have a question about my marriage in terms of how bipolar affects it or something else? Leave a comment!
