I am a volunteer at an aged care facility, i have only just started so i need as much guidance as possible. i work with about 6 to ten residents, who do not spend much time together, i think its mainly due to personality differences. most have mild signs of dementure, and nearly all of them appear to be bored out of their mind. They hardly even talk, even though they can. I was also dissapointed with the very small amount of resources i had at my disposal. I have gathered a few art supplies to take with me next time, but i would greatly appreciate and ideas or suggestions on activities etc. that i could try, or ideas on where to look for information

Conflict or anger itself does not have to cause an irreparable rift between partners. With good communication skills and a shared commitment to a marriage, even these are surmountable. How to save your marriage https://tr.im/qhBkV

However, at that point where one partner is at the brink of abandoning the relationship, how can the remaining partner save their marriage? If you are at the point where your spouse has asked for a divorce, what can you do?

You must realize first that, you do have a choice. Often, when confronted by a crisis, we find ourselves backed into a corner thinking we have no choice in the matter. How can we change the situation when it involves another person's feelings or decisions? While we cannot, must not and in no way manipulate, blackmail or threaten our partner into changing their mind, we can actually control how we react to the situation. If anything, you must realize that you still have control over yourself. You have the opportunity to look inward and take responsibility for your own feelings and actions and even have the chance to take personal inventory of what your partner is trying to tell you. Are there points in your marriage that must be changed? If so, respond appropriately and proactively.
