A wedding can make even the most sane person seem unreasonable. I think it stems from feeling so much pressure, from every possible angle. It's really the only time in your life it happens that way, so no wonder it's tough to think straight. There is a way to get through it without sacrificing the things that are most important to you.

Always treat the in-laws with care and you'll never regret it. Over the course of a marriage all kinds of sticky issues will present themselves with your family and his, but there's almost always a graceful way out of it.

Social skills are really like any other skill you learn in life; they just might feel harder to master than others. But anyone can do it. Would you feel encouraged if I told you all it takes is time and practice?

An unexpected break up catches everyone off guard and we are typically not at our best in these moments. Not everyone is flexible and adaptable (which is why these skills are so coveted in the workforce!). So sorting out what's actually fair in this scenario is likely to take more time than it should.

It's a terrible feeling when someone betrays your trust by capriciously sharing a major secret. Being a good secret keeper is a skill that way too many people have not mastered. So when it happens to you, the only thing you can control in the aftermath is how you choose to react.
