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

> concentrate on all the things in your marriage that are "of good report" 
> ( Php 4:8 ). (3) Building thoughtful behaviour back into your 
> relationship. List some of the things you know would make your spouse 
> happy. Be specific. For example, hugging your husband when he comes home 
> from work after a hard day, or helping your wife with the laundry. Show 
> you care! Inject consideration back into your relationship. (4) Seeing 
> your partner through God's eyes. Trying to love others like God loves you
