Most of us are self-centered. We strive to achieve our goals but often lose our marriages in the process. If we aim to build our marriages while at the same time building our careers, both spouses win.

The culture that our teens grow up in today is vastly different than the culture we grew up in. Loving your teens effectively will help them resist the negative influences of our culture.

How can you help military families in your church? Start a small group that serves as a place for military couples to talk. Include former military members who can empathize and share how they've learned to cope.

How can you get your husband to talk more? Some people are listeners while others are talkers. If you want to get your husband to respond verbally, ask them specific questions.

We get angry when our sense of right is violated. Share your anger with someone in a positive manner, then let it go. Anger was never meant to move in permanently - it should only be a visitor.

Taking positive steps toward dealing with anger is essential. God can use our anger in a positive way if you're willing to admit that you're angry, confront the person who's wronged you, then seek reconciliation.
