Focus on the Positive

Quick Tip Submitted By: Tricia Opdahl, Married 13 Years

Always focus on the positive about your husband, especially when you're not feeling the most positive. I keep a list (used to be a physical written list, now just mental) of his best qualities - those personality traits that will not change and endear me to him. When I ever become tempted to criticize or think negatively of my man, I pull out the list and focus on those things until my negative emotions subside.

I always thought that you should arm all your friends with a few good traits about your mate. That way when something goes wrong and you go to bash your man they can lift him up to you. Sadly, it happens the other way around.
