Persevere? Do You?

(Definition: To continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty.)

To Persevere AS A SPOUSE–Obviously the most important relationship of your life. And all couples have their ups and downs. Of course, each of us have faults that must be overlooked in order to be committed to the long term success of the marriage.

To Persevere AS A PARENT–The advent of cell phones and social media make a parent’s job more difficult today. Your children must, through it all, know you love them and expect certain modes of behavior from them.

To Persevere AS A SIBLING–Sibling relationships can become more complicated when a brother or sister marries. Your objective must be to be patient with the new inlaw.

To Persevere AS AN EMPLOYEE–Your superiors must see that you are a team player. This must be your posture even if a new favorite comes along.

To Persevere AS A FRIEND–A long-standing friendship can help you weather the many storms that come along.
