Lotus, From what I understood you set small attainable goals. Goals that is achieved will give indication that the DB you are doing is generating positive response. These goals I set will tell me that we are either getting closer to or farther from reconcile. It also will help keep me motivated. If these attainable goals are achieved then I know I am doing what works and I keep doing it.
I also have set self improvement goals. Changes I need to make to become a better person and greater husband.
