I recently read an article by Gretchen Rubin that listed several mistakes that we all make in our marriages. The mistakes that she lists I think are worth all of us taking a look at and evaluating if we are making the same mistakes in our marriage. Gretchen Rubin is the New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home.

Today is Election Day in the US. I don’t care if you are voting for Mitt Romney or Barrack Obama; neither are going to solve the real problems that our country has.
