Hi everyone!

I have always thought that 13 was a lucky number. This is especially true for me today, since thirteen years ago today I married the most wonderful man. Happy Anniversary honey! (Let’s see if he reads this.)

My husband and I don’t fight. We occasionally get snippy with each other but nothing that actually gets us mad at one another.  You may find this odd, but for years, I missed fighting.

I thought something was missing. I could recall screaming matches with ex-boyfriends that always led to a better post-fight relationship. We fought, figured out the issue, solved it and were even closer.

It took me a while to realize that nothing was missing in my marriage. My husband and I keep growing because we figured out how to communicate without the anger or the fight.

You know from my past posts that I see the similarities in skills between parenthood and management. So it shouldn’t surprise you that I see the similarities in managing the relationship with your boss and the relationship with your spouse.

I contributed to this Forbes article on managing relationships with your boss and when I reread it, I realized that these tips are essential for managing any relationship in your life, business or personal. Any relationship is an opportunity – you get more out of it the more that you invest. Read the full article HERE. (Click HERE to tweet!)
