There are strategies, attitudes or tools that we should consider apply one of them that captivated my attention was: “Take your partner’s side”, because I sometimes trying to solve problem with honesty and I didn’t agree with my husband so I stood next to justice what I learned the point isn’t be dishonest but give emotional support it is common we confuse support for advice, therefore we need to be there for our partner, “to see the world from his or her perspective and to empathize with negative feelings.” (p.103)
On the other hand due to our own imperfections and excessive individualism we need in our lives for successful marriage the gospel of Jesus Christ, President Gordon B. Hinckley has counseled us about the danger of focus on self in marriage: “I find selfishness to be the root cause of most of the problems that lead to broken homes… there is a remedy for (selfishness)… The remedy for most marriage stress is not in divorce. It is in repentance. I recognized what President Hinckley stated is true thinking on couples who get married repeatedly without achieving stability so faith in the Lord Jesus Christ showing respect to His covenants and asking for help in order to have His direction and guidance.
