May 4, 2007, Newsletter Issue #172: Friction in Marriage

Tip of the Week

Remember the saying, a gem cannot be polished without friction. Arguments can be the refining of a marriage. However, pay attention to the words you use during a fight with your mate. Eliminate those that donīt say anything, such as "Youīre driving me up a wall," and re-phrase others. For instance, "Youīre breaking my back" could be changed to, "That really hurts me, and hereīs why."
