Constant criticism can drive a wedge in a relationship and choke romance to death.
Being a glass half-empty kind of person, I have to work hard at building my husband up. Sometimes my efforts are laughable. But since becoming aware of my need to do this, it has become easier. I really appreciate it. Not exactly Hollywood screenplay material, but it makes my husband feel valued.
