The Fine Line Between Sickness And Health
If you’re married, do you remember the wedding vows, for better and worse, in sickness and health? There will be good and bad times, and husband and wife must stick together through both.

Determination Is A Required Fitness Trait
Before diving into this post, we’ll use this definition of determination. Determination: The firmness of purpose; resoluteness. However, notice the similarities between determined and stubborn. Stubborn: A person’s dogged determination to maintain their attitude or position on something, even when faced with compelling arguments or reasons to reconsider. It’s almost two sides of the same…
