Noble Beauty.
“Even after 14 years of marriage, Eric and I don’t carry around bitterness and resentment toward each other for past hurts. This isn’t because we never hurt each other- far from it. Rather, our marriage slate is kept clean because we deal with issues as soon as they arise. It’s a conflict habit we developed when we were first married, and it has made an incredible difference in our relationship. Never once have we gone to bed angry with each other- even if it meant we had to stay up all night talking things out and making them right. We kill the seeds of bitterness before they have a chance to grow. We wake up each morning knowing that things are right between us.”
