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!!!

APOLOGIZING AND FORGIVENESS HEALS BROKENNESS!!!

In a HAPPY MARRIAGE, when a hurt occurs, BOTH spouses can APOLOGIZE and FORGIVE!

3 parts are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to complete the Whole Circle of Forgiveness.

1) I AM SORRY I HURT YOU BY . . .

2) WILL YOU PLEASE FORGIVE ME?

3) I FORGIVE YOU.

After hurtful words or actions, ALWAYS APOLOGIZE and FORGIVE!!!

KIND SPOUSES SAY "I LOVE YOU" DAILY!!!

1 Corinthians 13:4 says, “LOVE is kind and thoughtful.” SPOUSES who are KIND and THOUGHTFUL when leaving the home say, “GOODBYE I LOVE YOU” and before going to sleep, “GOOD NIGHT, I LOVE YOU.” The other spouse responds, “I LOVE YOU.”

This GUARANTEES each spouse saying “I LOVE YOU” twice a day!!! Keep in mind, “I LOVE YOU” is MISSING in nearly every troubled marriage!

PARENTS PAUSE WITH A 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE!

PARENTS PAUSE WITH A 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE! A major goal for every parent is to PAUSE and NOT OVERREACT! The 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE achieves that goal!

When a child wants to ARGUE it is healthy for a parent to say, 1) “I HEARD YOU SAY(ECHO) . . .”; 2) “Say AND” Never BUT; then 3) RESPOND with WHAT IS HEALTHY or IN THE CHILD’S BEST INTEREST.

The 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE is a terrific parenting skill!

SARCASM IS DESTRUCTIVE FOR RELATIONSHIPS!

The Greek word for SARCASM means TEARING OF FLESH. 95% of sarcasm is HIDDEN ANGER and the goal is ATTACK, MAJOR PUTDOWN, a HARD EMOTIONAL SLAP, and the result is a DAMAGED RELATIONSHIP! AVOID ALL NEGATIVE SARCASM and watch your relationships become HEALTHIER and MORE SATISFYING!!!
