I find that in our...Thanks for your blog Michelle.<br /><br />I find that in our relationship - and we are working our way back to a great marriage after a very unfortunate 2008 - we have a cultural barrier that we must sometimes overcome when it comes to communication. On top of the Mars Venus thing - he is from another country.<br /><br />My best advice for all couples is to always run a filter in your head on what you are about to say. I do that simply from a language standpoint sometimes and now from a "how would I feel if I were actually him and I heard that". That has been a huge help for us.<br /><br />I urge my beloved to remember the context of what we are discussing - if I am running around doing 8 things for the family and ask him to do one favor for us while he's doing his own thing - I want him to pause before answering me with any sarcasm or cynicism. <br /><br />It is working for us. I am especially proud of where we are when you consider where we've been. People you can work on your marriages and make a difference.M.
