Art and Understanding
Okay, I have to admit the title to this one isn’t all that original as I am highlighting the book The Art of Understanding Your Mate by Cecil G. Osborne, D.D. This book is a best seller that looks at marriages from a realistic standpoint. Here is a brief summary of what the book and other books by the same author explain.

The topic category is Family Matters. The subject of this entry is earwax which is definitely a personal matter because it is in your ears and in the ears of your family.
