Relationship Tips from Carol


If you have a tendency to rescue people, don’t do so in the area of love relationships. Find out why rescuing appeals to you, and make some changes.

When someone wrongs us, we need to let them know of our dismay, and then let it go.  Letting go doesn’t mean we forget.  Rather, we give up our quest to “get back at the person.”  God says that vengeance is His.

Parents of Teens:  Don’t panic when your teen does something relatively minor.  If you presume that their misbehavior marks the beginning of terrible behavior, you may overreact.  That may actually trigger worse behavior.  Do respond with calm and clarity.

Thinking of adding a person to your household?  Before doing so, speak frankly with your spouse.  Are they onboard with your idea?  If not, there may be resentment.  Listen to the concerns and ideas of your family.  Decide upon responsibilities and on boundaries.

Is your spouse gone a lot?  In the military?  When they return home, real adjustments are required.  Will the traveling parent step back into a position of authority?  If so, plan that out.  A counselor can help.
