Life is all about decision-making. We are where we are because of decisions we’ve made.

Question #5: The Relationship Question: What does love require of me? This question introduces inescapable clarity to just about every moral, ethical, and relational decision you will bump up against. It should inform how we date, parent, boss, manage, and coach.
