10 (bad) things...



Secrets
Secrets kill a relationship.  Period.

Selfishness
The more I insist that the focus be on me, the more I starve my marriage.

Trivializing the important
Pay attention to the things that need attention.

Aggrandizing the trivial
Don’t make mountains out of mole hills just to satisfy your ego.

Pet sins
We all have them, so be honest with yourself and get rid of them for the sake of your marriage.

Greed
“Stuff” will not make your marriage better.

Criticism
Badgering your spouse about his/her “imperfections” will only drive a wedge between you.

Anger
Nothing good comes from uncontrolled anger.  Ever.

Excuses
A lack of accountability will destroy trust.

Blame
Whether it is your spouse, your parents, your boss, your friends, or some unnamed “they,” the victim mentality will continually circumvent a healthy marriage.

This is not a list of things your mate needs to change.  It is a list of things you need to tend to so that 2018 will be a better year for your marriage.
