> How did you cat when things were good? Recall and rehearse your best

> change your perception of your partner. So
> concentrate on all the things in your marriage that are "of good report"

> from work after a hard day, or helping your wife with the laundry. Show
> you care! Inject consideration back into your relationship. (4) Seeing
