We know the golden rule of being nice to others so they are nice in return to us, but first we have to apply that to ourselves. Being nice to yourself and helping yourself is key to your own happiness, joy, and success (professionally and personally). Today we talk about the power and impact of positive thought through the basic premise of being nice to, and helping, others.
In other words, Don't Be A Dick.
One of the main things that produces conflict is a lack of sensitivity or kindness. Dr. Kim shares how he has seen a lack of kindness among couples in the counseling room.

We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
