The worst kind of mistake is the one that you don’t even know is wrong. How can you possibly fix something that seems perfectly all right to you?
The top 5 marriage mistakes that I will cover are involving habits that you may have grown up with, or picked up from people around you as an adult.
Regardless, of where you got them from, if they are damaging for your relationship, and not helping even in the best of days, then it’s high time you replace habits with something that serves your purpose of getting your ideal marriage.
1) Keeping Score
You: “Honey, can we go meet my sister’s family this weekend? I haven’t seen her since that big family dinner last month.”
Husband: “Can we do this next weekend? I have a lot of work to catch up on this weekend.”
You: “You always say this, and we never get to go!”
or
You: “This is the third time you’ve done this and I’ve just about had it with your careless attitude!”
The first thing wrong with these conversations is speaking in absolutes, using words like, “always” and, “never.” You may not realize that using such words brands your relationship to be a certain way. If you keep referring to the mistakes your husband makes in terms of “always” then he will identify that as a standard to live by.
