WebMD has posted a new feature that suggests if you want a happy marriage--don't nitpick! Is that really surprising? Perhaps not, but it's usually a lot easier said than done. How's the temperature in your place? Have one of you been fiddling with the thermostat? Are the dishes done? Where did you leave your keys? On the table? See, these things add up.
The article says, "You must be nice to your partner, research shows. Make small gestures, but make them often. 'The little things matter,' says Susan Boon, PhD, a social psychologist at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, teaches classes in interpersonal relationships. 'What a happy marriage is based on is deep friendship, knowing each other well, having mutual respect, knowing when it makes sense to try to work out an issue, when it is not solvable. Many kinds of issues simply aren't solvable.'"
The article continues on with tips and techniques and is recommended reading with some great thoughts and ideas. Click here for the article.
