Hi, I’m Randall, and I’m here out enjoying nature, running alone trails with my wife, and having been married approximately 25 years, there are certain things that I’ve learned to try to be a better partner, a better spouse.
And, uh, three things . . .
Number one: Try to think about the person 7 to 10 times more than yourself, whether it’s making your bed or doing the dishes. Think about the other person first.
Second is try to think outside the box. I know that Valentine’s Day comes around once a year in February, but if you give chocolate in September . . . Wow! A lot better response, and you’re thinking beyond what people normally do.
And finally, if you’re having problems . . . marital problems or family problems, consider getting professional help. Friends can help, but working with a professional can help you build the communication skills you need.
