Hey OFCJ and Newbie Natural! I've gotten a lot of agreement from the ladies. Guys don't agree with #4...lol.

OOh, Your blog; new look!! Thishis post was true, especially the defensive part. Guys that overreact to small things in such a manner do usually have problems with insecurity. Good tips. But on the wife's part, it's like the scripture in the Bible that says soft words quell and angry spirit and harsh ones only stir it further. Us women do have a lot of influence and power in helping our mates/future mates mold into something new and pretty, lol.

O.F.C.J.

These work for kids and the work environment too. After trial and error , I found that implementing #2 works especially well, ie, "when you get a few minutes, could you...?" It's funny watching my children do this now.

That sounds like a good read, GG. I'll have to check it out.

Hey Deanna! Glad you got something from it. I agree, preparation is important. I bought Five Love Languages for Singles...haven't cracked it open yet, but the first book was a definite eye-opener.

Hi CurvyGirl,

This is so empowering; my girlfriend mentioned this book to me. Although I'm not currently in a relationship, "Five Love Languages" will definitely be a good read as preparation for a relationship. Thank you so much!!

I read Chapman's Love as a Way of Life and it's almost like a reference book to me now...lol. There is a chapter in there on patience. What has helped my relationship tremendously is learning how to accept the imperfections of people and situations. When someone is particularly impatient towards you, it's an opportunity to be particularly patient towards them. I find this effort is noticed and reciprocated, big time.
