We so often fail in our relationships with our families, our partners, our friends, and fellow humans because we are lazy in our love for one another, says Keion Henderson, pastor of the mega-church Lighthouse Church in Houston.

When Dr. Farrell began teaching couples communication thirty years ago, he taught the wisdom of not being defensive in response to criticism.
