You Wanna Be Right, or You Wanna Be Married?: 10 Tips on How to Not Ruin Your Marriage

After 27 years of marriage, my husband, Michael, and I have learned a thing or two about compromise. The willingness to compromise begins with changing the way you think about yourself, your spouse and your marriage. A change in the way you think, also called a mindset shift, is necessary in order to consider how your thoughts and actions affect your spouse and your marriage. If you want to have a harmonious, drama-free relationship, it becomes necessary to shift your thoughts away from selfish or self-centered thoughts to thoughts about helping your spouse become the best they can be, while creating the marriage you desire. The phrase "You Wanna Be Right Or You Wanna Be Married" is said to someone who complains about their spouse a lot; they think they're right all the time and the spouse is wrong. So they emphasize their thoughts and beliefs without giving the same benefit to the spouse. This person might win little battles within the marriage, and might be right about many things, but they'll end up losing the whole marriage because they were focused only on what mattered to them. The way to stop the constant battles and irritations is to change the way you think about everything which will change how you act towards your spouse. A change in your mindset will help you learn how to compromise, which is one of the most important keys to a winning marriage. This book contains tips which will hopefully spark a mindset shift within you. My goal is to give you the tools you need to divorce-proof your marriage. The tips within this book are just one set of tools you can use to create the marriage of your dreams.
