Hi, in response I understand what your going through but I believe that its human to be snappy from time to time but what I have done to for family is insist that we talk about the situation or whatever it is that is getting next to us but for the most part I find what helps us is giving one another time to alone. I think the answer to the problems is knowing what they are and being willing to work on them.

1. 1. Demanding gold stars
2. 2. Using a snappish tone
3. 3. Not showing enough consideration
4. 4. Keeping score
5. 5. Taking spouse for granted

I have to say I make all except for 2 - I have been pretty good at using a positive tone with my wife. I would have to say the worst for me is #5, I tend to take her for granted.

What are some of the mistakes you tend to make?
