COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL!
even the 'touchy' subjects
if it is something that really has you both...at odds....step back and think---maybe even write it down---vent on paper- not on him---
sometimes hubby and i plan a special dinner- we know we have to discuss something -difficult-- we start with a nice meal- we agree ahead of time to allow each other to say what they need to -without anger- you have to be willing and able to (step out of the problem) and look at it from the other side-
don't forget - DATE NIGHT- no matter how hectic life gets- set aside together time- on a regular basis- we love our movie & dinner dates- usually start with him bringing home flowers :)
remember everyone needs alittle (me time) women seem to expect it- but have a problem also giving it.
as long as you never stop talking to each other- you will be fine 50 years from now---
