You spend ALL DAY LONG with your partner...?? Yes. Sometimes it's fine, but other times you think of ways to throw them over the side of the boat! I love my hubby very much, but we have our days... We have a few 'Rules' that seem to help, or at least keep things from escalating...1. Say THANK YOU... not a huge big deal, but those two little words mean a lot!!
2. BE NICE!! Really, ask yourself, "...how hard is it, just to BE NICE...?"
3. If your spouse/partner is mad, i.e. working on the engine, fixing something, sweating like fat Elvis, don't ask, "...is there something wrong?" This WILL NOT help...
4. I also read once that one couple had a 'special hat', if one person was wearing 'The Hat', the other was not allowed to speak to them. We haven't tried it, but it sounds like a good idea to me.
5. Take a minute everyday to be grateful for what you have. You may want MORE, but today, just for a minute, look around and enjoy your life, where ever you live!
6. Talk to each other, ( don't forget to BE NICE! ) if you have a problem, say something. I don't know about you, but my husband is not a mind reader...
7. The 24 Hour Rule... if you don't say something about 'what's wrong' within 24 hours, it now becomes YOUR problem!
8. The woman is always right... ( and SHE can read your mind! )
