Getting Through the Workday While Your Marriage Falls Apart
“My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.”
For the days you have to hold it together at work while everything else is coming undone. You don't need to feel calm. You just need to listen first.
