Find some way to serve your spouse every day. Both of you may be on the brink, and the subject you're about to tackle may just push you over the edge. When one persons, I just don't think I'm ready for that yet, don't press the issue. Take the subject at a pace both of you can manage. When one says, I fell, the other shouldn't convey, You shouldn't feel that way.
Some issues are just too painful to address.
Even if you're good at it, absolutely no sarcasm. Sit facing each other, hold hands, and use good eye contact. The above items were taken from the Men's Ministries Toolbox Series Newsletter-issue 11, and FamilyStyle Vol.
