Couples should be grateful for the hard times. Because through them, they can learn just how strong they can be … together.
Grateful for the hard times?
Be positive—all year long
A new year means a new start, right? Not if you bring the baggage of the past year with you.
Your past does not define you
Each of us has the power to change; to make choices today that will set us on the road to positive living.
Criticism: take it like a man
"The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism." —Rev. Normal Peale
Persevere
