I am always looking for tips and help from successful couples who have a great friendship and lasting marriage.

When confronted with any problem practice this template for creating an environment of humility, love, and respect. You can work this through in your mind or with another person. A- “I am sorry…” (Even if you believe the action is not your fault, you can take responsibility and ask forgiveness for your part in creating the environment in which the problem came to be, or sorry for your response, or sorry for your judgment, etc…) B- “Please forgive me…” (like the above, make sure you can find a sincere part of your heart that

Do you ever feel overwhelmed in the trial you are currently facing? Alone, or don't know where to turn? As lonely as this feels, ironically it is nearly a universal experience. My life has been so blest in countless ways... and yet...the trials I am given seem to be increasing in equal intensity too. I find myself pondering a lot on how to learn and mostly survive beyond the pain. A few things that have stuck out to me that have really helped are: 1- This scriptural equation found in 1st Nephi verse 1. I've read this verse numerous times without giving it much thought. But today it really stuck out to me. Maybe, I 've added too much detail. But I truly feel like there is a reason this verse was placed at the very beginning of this exemplary text.

If you have to cry, make them tears of happiness. T-thoughts E-emotions A-actions R-results This is an easy acronym to remember that thoughts affect our emotions which in turn affect our actions which lead ultimately to the results in our lives. QUESTION So are your results showing what you want? What can you do about it? ANSWER Change any of the above to change the cycle. Being aware of our thought patterns (inner conversations and images) is a great place to start. We all have numerous influences bombarding us with input and the beauty of that is each person gets to decide which thoughts they would like to keep or discard. NOT so easy for you? Borrow some healthier thoughts and images from others who already have the results that you want! Then say and imagine those affirmations to yourself until you believe them. Still at a loss for the right ones for you? Try this. Catch that negative thought that you find yourself
