Do you approach each new year with renewed vigor and plans for self-improvement? Perhaps a better gym routine or healthier lifestyle habits? Maybe you wish to tackle your work differently. Do you then find yourself not able to sustain these plans beyond a few weeks? New Year’s resolutions often end up lacking consistency, so we prefer to set our intentions and one word for the year.

Going on an international assignment is often a relationship challenge. Even if you have already been married for a long time, moving abroad can bring out the best and worst in the relationship with your spouse and/or life partner.
