2EMOTIONS DON’T BLAME YOUR PARTNER FOR YOUR

When we feel hurt or resentful, in a very real sense we’re “doing” these emotions to ourselves, and yet, we think other people are doing it to us.

Never make your marriage about “me”. It doesn’t matter who’s at fault – take 100% responsibility yourself because you’re a team and if one person loses, you both lose.

If your partner is upset and not being their usual self, don’t blame them – help them instead.

LESSON The objective is not to be right in a quarrel. It’s to care.

ACTION Pause to remember that your partner is not “making” you feel or behave in a certain way.
