Congratulations Mavis. Wishing you the best for a long, successful marriage.

Thanks Mom (What can I say – I will approve any post as long as it is in the spirit of what has been written!)

What better testimony to what you’re all about and what you’ve written than that which comes from a mother-in-law!!!!!!!!!

I feel oh, so-o-o blessed that you’re the husband of my daughter, Michelle, and the father of my grandsons, Scott and Spencer!!!!!!!

You’re also a great “son”!!!!!!

Love you—-TONS!

Mom

Thanks Bill. Great addition regarding integrity. I agree – without it, we are working on false beliefs and expectations.

Thanks Susan. And I totally agree with your comments regarding a wife leading as well. We need to each lead in our strength zone to make the most of the relationship.

I believe LOVING KINDNESS is the key to communication.
When this is your spirit and intention, it leads to communicating, then understanding, which results in respect and trust.

Secondly, I would say that personal integrity is next.
Without it, any commitment won’t mean much.

In Gary’s book “Love as a Way of Life (that followed The 5 Love Languages), he mentions 7 keys to TRANSFORMING your life, with a chapter devoted to each topic: Kindness, Patience, Forgiveness, Courtesy, Humility, Generosity and Honesty.

These are all hallmarks of truly great leaders.

Kind Regards,
Bill

Wishing the BEST to you AND Michelle for at least another 25 years!

Susan
