It can be pretty hurtful to your spouse if you go against him in front of his family or friends. I know I've been guilty of that and later my husband tells me that it made him feel invalidated and that it's okay to disagree with him but to talk to him later in private about it. Those situations always end in a much better understanding of each other.<br />Great list Karen, thank you for sharing! My husband and I recently went through some pretty tough times and I think the easiest thing to do to start getting back on track was those little texts/ calls/ notes in the lunch. It always made me smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-35356254419202999352015-02-14T16:08:39.464-05:002015-02-14T16:08:39.464-05:00Great question.

Better to say nothing than to use a criticism that can never be taken back. That's how I'd like my spouse to deal with my sins and that's how I try to deal with his shortcomings. Publicly (and privately) I am his number one fan. :)<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to comment!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139990886922103618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-46454521382447038262015-02-14T10:55:32.912-05:002015-02-14T10:55:32.912-05:00Great list, Karen!
