Do You Want to Drive or Do You Want to Bitch?

<p>Do we choose to create what we need or complain about its absence? In long-term intimate relationships it all comes down to a choice: Drive or Bitch. Rabbi Doctor Sheldon Wayne Moss has guided thousands of couples into more satisfying long-term relationships. As a research psychologist he has demonstrated that using humor to bond is a relationship skill that can be easily learned. He says Couples argue in the car about each other's driving. At one point I turned to Barbara my wife and made an offer 'Do you want to drive or do you want to bitch about my driving?' It spiked a hearty laugh and got us thinking. We road test this proactive choice throughout Barbara's serious battle with Stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma Cancer. I take the readers into a ground-shifting seminar of many couples describing how they stopped complaining and nourished their bonding instead. </p><p></p><p>About the Author: As founder of the Soviet-American Forum Rabbi Sheldon Wayne Moss D.D.
