Another marriage tidbit

Here's another tidbit I found in an MSN article (yes, I read alot of online articles at work!) :p

How to love the one you're with
No matter what the style, good marriages are based on chemistry, commitment and communication. And optimism: It helps to look at your marriage as half full rather than half empty. "Loving your husband and yourself at the same time depends upon seeing him as clearly as possible, trying to forgive him for what you see that you wish you didn't, and trying to live with him in spite of it," says Dr. Sills. Ironically, the very qualities about him that bug you may be what you secretly wish for yourself. "Developing that other side in yourself can change the balance in your marriage for the better," says Dr. Carter.


The Two Kinds of Husbands

PS - I'm definitely in a Husband Marriage, with spontaneous Boyfriend Marriage excitement hehehe (clueless? read the MSN article to find out.)

Guess I fall into the husband category.

I think that most married men don't fall perfectly into either one actually. Americans seem to like to box people in but I think that Jamaican men have their 'boyfriend' moments and their 'husband' moments. I'm guessing it's more a factor of which percentage are you more of :p
