Tips for Thriving in your Marriage

“I’ve been working on myself quite a bit lately – I think I had lost myself a bit for a while.  Perhaps when I’m more myself my wife will like me better.”

I loved that my cousin was sharing his experiences with me.  But I have to admit that I gave him a gentle push towards sharing his discoveries and energy with his wife.  That way she gets to see the positives, too.  I suggested that he shouldn't indulge yet in big talks about therapy or his goals, just start creating some happier moments together as a couple.  She will enjoy being with the 'new' (or 'old' depending upon your point of view!) him.

If you are working on improving yourself, don't forget to share the good qualities you find in yourself with your partner!

DON'T FORGET - THE NEXT COUPLES SEMINAR STARTS ON JANUARY 28TH.  GIVE YOURSELF A NEW YEAR'S GIFT OF A BETTER RELATIONSHIP FOR THE TWO OF YOU!
