Since this is Thanksgiving week, we wanted to explore the role that gratitude plays in a healthy marriage or relationship. We found some great articles on Psychology Today's website and share two of them with you.  Here is the link to the first article. The link for the second one is at the end of the first article.  https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-family-engineer/202311/thanksgiving-is-the-bestworst-holiday-for-your-relationship

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our listeners in the United States. We forgot to share our scripture, which is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus".
