When I was writing Joyful Living: Build Yourself a Great Life! I worked with John and Sharon Charles as my editors. They also ran Abundant Living, a counseling ministry. They thought TBW and I would make great marriage counselors and I agreed.

Our first couple had a guy who worked as an electrician in construction, so I thought I’d have extra special insight. During our first meeting, they shared their problems (people sure do crazy-assed things), and we agreed on an action plan.

Two weeks later, they came back, complaining about a new set of problems and I asked them how they did on our action plan. I got blank stares. The next two week visit yielded the same response. Turns out I have little empathy if people don’t keep their commitments. Turns out, TBW and I were about the world’s worst counselors.

I love the video below. It shows my counseling philosophy. Invest the six minutes to watch this video and change your life!
