So first off happy fourth of July! But secondly, I just wanted to share something and see your thoughts. Two couples who had been a role model for my relationship have either divorced, or separated recently.

It can be really discouraging feeling like marriage so often ends in divorce or unhappiness. What are some positive stories from either yourself or people you know of long happy marriages? What's a secret to a happy marriage?

Happy times, bad times, grumpy times, good times, orhateful times. Communication, understanding, and caring are so important. We are 39 years in, we have always communicated. If someone is upset or gets upset, it's important to tell the other one.

My mom has diabetes and I know her health has been a stress on my parents marriage. Chronic illness is always hard.

44 years - communication, forgiveness, and knowing marriage is not 50/50. It has to be each one giving more so there is overlap.

I actually was just talking to someone about how marriage is not 50/50 and she sent me a great podcast talking about how to bridge the gap when both of you only have 20% to give.

38 years here. Usually happy. There were a few rough times. Communication helps, but also flexibility, and dealing with change. And realizing that we would rather navigate the rough times together than apart.

Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?

Also isn’t it a waste of money for businesses to replace perfectly functional exit signs when renovating?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO.

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
