And Then Some News

We have two new features beginning soon. One will begin this week, and one will begin next week. On Friday, February 13th, and continuing through the rest of this year, the first new feature is called "Weekend Words," and it will simply be a brief quotation about words and their effects. These quotations are designed to give you something to think about over the weekend. They may be stimulating and provocative, or they may be delightful and enjoyable. Your choice! Enjoy.

The second feature begins next week. On Monday, we start a new feature called "Book Review Mondays," and it will include the review of a book (or books) by one of And Then Some Publishing's family of authors. If you miss a review or you want to re-read a previously published review, you can check out BookWorks. If you're a reader, you'll love our new feature. If you're not a reader, perhaps our new feature will encourage you. It's "Book Review Mondays," and it begins next week --- Monday, February 16th! Aren't you excited?

Thursday’s essay, “The message relationship partners don’t want to hear,” is an essay about relationships designed to “celebrate” Valentine’s Day — just four days from now. It is not designed to be uplifting as much as it is to be practical and realistic. (This is an essay females may want to have their male partners read before making any kind of permanent connection! Those already in committed relationships may want to re-read it (both partners!) for accuracy as well as for application. Read the essay and discover: this is what long-lasting relationships are made of!)

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview
The message relationship partners don't want to hear
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
The essential message is that relationships are not fifty-fifty, and if you enter a relationship thinking this is how it will work, your relationship is likely doomed to failure. But there are clear avenues for positive change and development: 1) focus on being a couple, 2) share power equally, 3) resolve conflicts in healthy ways, and 4) above all, reveal trust. If you form a relationship and you truly want it to last, plan to give it the work, time, and effort it deserves — even if it is one-hundred percent of what you have!
