ALL MARRIAGES NEED PRACTICAL SPECIFIC WISDOM TO BE HAPPY!!!

Many UNHAPPY MARRIAGES are due to SPOUSES SIMPLY NOT POSSESSING PRACTICAL SPECIFIC WORDS, ACTIONS, AND KNOWLEDGE for a HAPPY MARRIAGE.

AM I A BETTER SPOUSE THAN ON OUR WEDDING DAY?

AM I A BETTER SPOUSE THAN ON OUR WEDDING DAY?

When a SPOUSE STOPS BECOMING BETTER, the MARRIAGE STOPS BECOMING BETTER, and that usually starts a SLIDE toward the DREADED DISEASE OF COMPLACENCY.

A Key Question for every spouse, “In EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE AND MARRIAGE, am I a better person and spouse TODAY than the day I got married?”

A wonderful GOAL is to IMPROVE DAILY as a PERSON and SPOUSE!!!

PARENTS DON’T GET DEFENSIVE WITH “I DON’T LIKE YOU”!!!

PARENTS DON’T GET DEFENSIVE WITH “I DON’T LIKE YOU”!!! A parent can easily overreact when they hear that statement.

Instead of overreacting say, “WE LOVE EACH OTHER. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I SPOKE TO YOU THAT WAY?”

After a calm period, ASK for an APOLOGY and GUIDE the child toward a better decision with QUESTIONS!

DON’T fly off the handle because I DON’T LIKE YOU is not life or death!!!

PARENTS LEARN TO ASK, “IS THIS AN EMERGENCY?”!!!

PARENTS LEARN TO ASK, “IS THIS AN EMERGENCY?”!!! Most situations are not life and death, far too often a parent overreacts with a child’s mistake which harms the relationship.

A PARENT MUST NEVER OVERREACT WHEN A CHILD MAKES A MISTAKE. With every situation ask, “IS THIS AN EMERGENCY?” then ACT WISELY, DON’T REACT POORLY!!!

PARENTS SAVE YOUR “NOs” FOR WHAT MATTERS!!!

PARENTS SAVE YOUR “NOs” FOR WHAT MATTERS!!! An Effective Parent differentiates a child’s minor requests from major ones.

Too often a parent says “NO” too quickly when a “YES” answer would easily strengthen the relationship and help a child learn even more responsibility.

PARENTS SAY “YES” WHEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOW FOR THAT POSITIVE ANSWER!!!
