By Leslie Vernick | September 9, 2015 |

By Leslie Vernick | February 18, 2013 |

This week’s question: My husband’s a slob! He drops his clothes on the floor and he never picks up after himself or helps around the house. I’m exhausted and I’m tired of asking for help.

Husband says he’s sorry and will change, but doesn’t. Now what?

By Leslie Vernick | January 16, 2012 |

Good morning friends, Do you have people in your life who will tell you the truth? I do and am thankful for that. Remember the childhood story, The Emperor’s New Clothes?
