RELATIONSHIPS GUIDE

Whether it's a partner, a friend, a child or a work colleague, we all have relationships. Sometimes it takes a bit of effort and care to keep those relationships alive and well.

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up."

Ogden Nash
