The Skills Required for Successful Relationships
Many people enter relationships with the belief that love and attraction alone are sufficient for success, overlooking the essential skills needed for fostering a strong partnership. Building a successful marriage, much like excelling in any job, requires dedication, intentionality, and learning new skills that often do not come naturally.
