Passive Aggression…and it’s killing your marriage.
Passive aggressive behavior is all about one simple word: disconnect. It’s the “disconnect” between what is being said and what is being done. Unfortunately, all around us, marriages are suffering from it. There are many different ways in which passive aggressive behavior can be expressed in our marriage. What I’ve got written down here is a…

Affairs and fruit.
“I do not expect that we will ever have serious problems in our marriage.” It’s one of the statements in the premarital counseling questioner that I have couples respond to.
