They Make a Habit of Staying Positive Every marriage has its ups, downs, and a few sideways in between. The couples that succeed accept that things go wrong; they don’t allow themselves to become waylaid by unrealistic expectations that will remain unmet. “Most successful marriages develop a positive habit of mind,” says Cole. “They operate out of the belief that their partner has their best interests at heart. They work hard not to allow resentments to build....

A modern version of your dad’s cabinet speakers, the Cell Alpha is meant to be seen as much as heard. Wrapped inside a clear plastic dome are speakers arranged in a sandwich: two 6.5-inch diameter woofers, above and below, and three 3-inch-wide drivers around the middle.
