40 Lessons I've Learned in My 40 Years: #37

Lesson # 37:

The key to a happy marriage is to keep your focus on his positive qualities and never dwell on the negative ones. Remember that you have negative traits, too. If you allow yourself to stew over the things he does that irritate you -- or even infuriate you -- resentment can take over; and resentment is the first ingredient for divorce.

I'm not suggesting that you don't communicate your needs and frustrations, I'm just saying that it's a real bad idea to hang on to those kinds of thoughts.

(Phil 4:8)
