Number 5... Practice Forgiveness. This is a big one. It is the one that sank my first marriage. That and being too young to be married in the first place. Age, maturity, and a new view of the world of diverse people has helped me be calmer and practice #5 more often. My new marriage is awesome and their is real love involved. Thanks a nice blog post.
