First of all...it's a JOB
and you have to work at it
to achieve perfection or skill.
don't go to bed mad at each other
agree that you can disagree
take a 15 minute time out if temper's flare.
(because you tend to vent stress on a loved one:
it's called
transference)
Make sure to set aside quality time for one another.
don't assume anything and tell your signifigant other
exactly what you'd like to see happen or not happen
rules of engagement ..ie, rules of war are to be established
and never to be broken under any circumstances...
be willing to start the evening or morning over when
someone is cranky from lack of sleep or whatever..
strive to find new experiences to keep the relationship
fresh and exciting....
allow your spouse to say whats on their mind without
second guessing what they are about to say...
(in other words ,be a good listener)
realize that although you tried very hard ...not every plan
comes together as you had hoped and to try try again.
and lastly... do everything you can to be
healthy because
that in the end
is the true measure of wealth ,not how
big a home you have or how many toys you own....
because when ones health fails those have very little
meaning or importance in the big picture.
