My friend Delia is the owner of a small private school. This spring her school is experiencing the crunch of reduced enrollment for next September and all staff have been asked to take a six percent salary decrease. One staff member, much to Delia’s horror, outright refused and resigned her teaching position at the school. Delia pleaded
The first two questions I ask a couple in the first session are, "How did you meet?" and "What attracted you to each other in the beginning?"
This surprises many couples at first, but my goal is to begin to help them focus on the strengths and positives in the relationship before we get to the problem areas.
Let's look in on how this went in a first session with a fictional couple we will call Bob and Mary.
Me: "How did you two meet?"
Bob: "We met in college through some mutual friends."
Me: "What first attracted you to each other?"
Mary: "I thought Bob was a good-looking guy and he made me laugh. He was very spontaneous and fun-loving."
Bob: "Mary was really pretty and laughed at my jokes. We had a lot of fun together. She helped me to be more serious about the future."

Have you consolidated your credit card debts, and find that things are still getting worse? A lot of people consolidate their credit card debts.
