Want to know what marriage is really like? Let me paint you a picture. We’re in the kitchen, when Greg opens the fridge and does a double take. “Why is there so much food in the fridge? Do we have people coming round, or something?” He knows the answer already. I’ve mentioned it at least […]

All of us feel guilt at some time or another. But if you think that guilt’s a purely negative thing that you ought to be avoiding at all costs, pause. I believe that guilt can actually be an incredibly useful emotion, and if we learn what it’s trying to tell us we can absolutely learn […]
