    How to Get Better at Expressing Emotions

    November 19, 2016 / No Comments

    Five simple steps you can take today to improve your relationship with your partner. Hi, my name is Michelle Marshall and I’m Bon’s first guest blogger and wanted to thank him for asking me to do this. I’m currently working on a book about improving your marriage/relationship.
