Hi there - it's Mike and Gayle Tucker with your
marriage tip for this week.
How happy are you with your marriage?
Is it as strong and healthy as it could be?
Here's a great tip for anyone who wants
a stronger, healthier and happier marriage:
Demonstrate to your mate that you are ALWAYS
happy to see them...
AND that you have no plans
for their improvement.
Acceptance = happiness.
A great attitude for actually being able to pull
this off is this: Don't Judge.
How often do you listen to your spouse without
judging them or getting defensive?
To have a happy marriage, be open to your
spouse's suggestions.
Realize that their point-of-view is just as valid
and important as your own -- just because they
have a different opinion doesn't
mean they're wrong.
It's very hard to have a happy and healthy marriage
when you're in a relationship that's filled with
criticism and defensiveness.
So, in the coming week, accept your spouse just as
they are, and show them how happy you are to see
them.
Until next week, this is Mike and Gayle Tucker and
we want you to be mad about marriage!
