Let Trust Be The Foundation
I’ve always been fascinated with couples who have been together for over 30 years. My parents will be celebrating their 40th this year and it’s been one heck of a roller coaster for them. Most of the couples I’ve asked say a long-term marriage is reflected upon the communication between the two parties. But I have to disagree. Creating Your Foundation Some people will only tell you what they want you to hear, and in some cases, they might even hear what they would like you to say.
