It Takes Attitude To Fix A Relationship
In the last article, I discussed maturity as an ingredient we have to have for a successful relationship. Once we have maturity, there is also another essential ingredient we must have for a successful relationship. Attitude. Attitude is basically our willingness to succeed in our newly established relationship. By attitude I simply mean honesty. Relationships […]
It Takes Maturity To Fix A Relationship
Many couples come to me in hopes of solving their relationship difficulties. Although the problems they bring seem to vary from couple to couple, at least on the surface, they are much of the same at the core. Once the emotions calm and the drama subside, I find what is causing their difficulties and their […]
