Abstract

We prepare for life through education. We even prepare for a driving license through education. Yet we often assume that being married or entering a relationship will take place naturally, without preparation. Marriage is one of the most responsible roles of our lives, but getting married and becoming a partner is expected to happen without any effort on our part. The purpose of this practice exercises is to help you learn more about why you want to get married or become a couple at this time. It is hoped that identifying these reasons will allow you to have a better relationship.

    A conductor is a leader who does not get angry during confrontations but who follows an orchestrated score or a thought-out plan rather than acting and reacting, at the spur of the moment, to the child’s behavior haphazardly and inconsistently. A conductor thinks before acting. A conductor leads rather than reacts.
