One of the major mistakes couples make is fooling themselves into believing all the love and romance they expeienced during the dating stage of their relationship will get them thru the marriage phase. That’s wishful thinking to the extreme.
Forty nine percent of all marriages in the United States end in divorce. While that number may pale in comparison to Sweden’s sixty four percent, it is still off the charts.

SuperCamp teaches teens important life lessons.
Teens at our
academic summer camp, SuperCamp, find out an important life lesson when we talk
to them about how failure leads to success. Our failures provide us with
valuable gifts?they give us the information we need to learn so that we can
succeed next time.
The only path to
success is stepping out of your comfort zone and being willing to risk. What
keeps us from taking risks? The view that failure is a negative and the fear
that failing will cause us shame and guilt. How would you act if you knew that
failure is virtually your only path to success? We know this because nearly all
successful people failed a lot. But they learned, tried a new way, and went on
to succeed.
