This is a really great article.
"Trouble is inevitable, but misery is optional. Attitude has to do with the way I choose to think about things. It has to do with one’s focus. Two men looked through prison bars – one saw mud, the other stars. Two people were in a troubled marriage – one cursed, the other prayed. The difference always is attitude."
"If you want to know your attitude, look at your words and behavior. If your words are critical and negative, then you have a negative attitude. If your behavior is designed to hurt or get back at your spouse, then you have a negative attitude. Guarding the attitude is the most powerful thing you can to affect your behavior. And, your behavior greatly influences your spouse."

"Why do I have to do
all the work?"
Over the years women come into our groups wondering why we have to be the ones to change our behavior first. It seems utterly unfair! BUT, we are the ones that want a different dynamic. A more peaceful relationship. Our men seem content to continue on with things the way they are. Creatures of habit. So if we're the one that wants the relationship to change, we have to be willing to do the work. When you apply the principles we teach you will see your good man rise to meet the new improved and happy You!
