1). Family Finance By : Joseph Kenny
One of the hardest things that young couples report during their first year of marriage is getting to grips with joint finances.

2). The Meaning of Life By : Jason Vines
What imbues one’s life with meaning? What gives us significance in the universe? Many people would answer, “God.” God provides our lives with purpose. In a universe that God forged, we all have a role in His master plan. This means we all matter within the grand scheme of existence. Without God, our lives could have no meaning, because we’d just… be.

3). A Sense of Responsibility By : Ken McIsaac
"I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." - William Henley (1849-1903) Our lives are only as good as we decide to make them. We should make short and long range plans and then follow them through, reviewing them as we go. It is our design and determination that decide our destiny, and this is our responsibility. When things are not right we should blame nobody, for that only dodges the problems that are our own and that we must fix ourselves.
