Excellent viewpoint and I read through it I kept thinking yes, yes, and yes. I impressed how accurate you are on this subject to the point I thought about highlighting the whole article.
Here is the one key point that I will add, when you are getting ready to tell your spouse about something they do that annoys you. Don’t do it, just don’t do it. Think of the things you might do that annoys him or her and then remember that word can hurt and damage a relationship.
This might be the biggest change I have made from the first to the second marriage.
We also have three bank accounts. Hers, Ours and Mine. This is something I will never change, it just works. That does not mean that I don’t inform or discuss with her on major purchases, because I do. It’s just communication that should be a part of every marriage.
