Know Where to Look to Find the Right Partner
People say that it’s impossible to find the right partner these days. I say, where are you looking? When we were kids, my dad took me and my brother fishing. He taught us that if you’re not catching any good fish, move to a better spot. My dad’s street smart. I think he’d say that the same applies to find the right partner. If you’re looking for desirable – and you should be – look where desirable is. Where is that, you might ask? I’m thinking that there’s another question waiting to be answered first.

Fighting To Save Your Marriage
They came to see us. We ordered pizza and got acquainted on the patio. He had placed his wedding ring inside a white envelope, wrote a note, and left it on the dresser for her to find. Over the coming weeks, we talked – but mostly listened. And beheld two incredible people fighting to save their marriage and winning BIG. It’s not always like that. Some call but never come. Others come so that they can say they did. Many have seen too much water go under that bridge. It’s not always true, but usually, the reality is this: nearly every problem is a motivation problem. I can usually tell…
