Science Monday returns


Snow on April 16???? Now I love snow, but this is a bit much, especially following the rain that is finding all the cracks that lead to my basement. Because of this, the science end of science Monday is a bit thin today.

Today starts our new semester and my class on Emotionally Focused Therapy begins tonight. EFT’s primary goal is to enhance the marital bond. A strong bond weathers all sorts of conflicts and basic human self-centeredness. What two things help us maintain healthy bonds?

1. Realism. Knowing that bond breaks will happen in marriage and not being surprised about them.
2. Forgiving spirits. Knowing that we are just as capable as our spouse to do stupid stuff which hurts the other. Making the decision to forgive helps even when the feelings have yet to come around.
