- Before you see the wrong in your spouse, see also your wrong. It makes you fair and balanced
- Before you accuse your spouse of something, have concrete proof. Too many people are accusing their spouse falsely based on feelings, suspicion and insecurities. If you have questions, ask without forming conclusions
- Before you correct your spouse, appreciate your spouse. It makes your correction better received
- Before you claim your spouse is distant, check if you have pushed him/her away
- Before you claim your spouse is secretive, ask yourself if you are easy to talk to – calm, non-judgmental and empathetic
- Don’t protect a friend at the cost of hurting your spouse. It shows your spouse he/she has value. It is very easy to take your spouse for granted
- Don’t let how you treat your spouse be determined by how your spouse treats you. This only makes you hold back the best of your love and leads to tit for tat. Marriage is built by husband and wife both choosing
