Yesterday we looked at some Bs that can sweeten your marriage like honey, today it’s Bs you don’t want.
Belittle
Never ever belittle your spouse in front of other by making negative or sarcastic comments. Nothing destroys a relationship quicker than having a person belittling their partner to others. You want to build them up not belittle them.
Bemoan
This one really goes hand in hand with the one before. You don’t want to be always bemoaning your spouse’s faults to them either. Bemoaning faults only tends to magnify them and make them more noticeable. It’s more helpful for you marriage to concentrate on your spouse’s good points.
Boasting
Boasting about your own achievements and good qualities is a sure turn off to others and especially those who live with you. Trust that they will notice your good qualities and appreciate them. If they don’t notice your good qualities boasting won’t help, it will only annoy them.
Boss
A marriage should be a partnership. So talk things over, make decisions together and strive for harmonious living. Don’t be tempted to boss your spouse around and tell them what they must do and when.
Brake
Cars have brake for a reason – to stop them in danger times. We need to often put a self imposed brake on our tongues and watch what we say when angry or upset. Words a can hurt and can’t be taken back once they are out there. Better to stop and think before we say things that might hurt our spouse.
Break
Don’t break confidence by divulging all you personal information that should be kept private and in the bedroom, with others.
Boredom
Boredom can spell death to a marriage, so find creative ways to keep the romance and the happily ever after alive. Follow some of Mar Ann’s or my suggestions.
Butt heads
Don’t butt heads and clash over unimportant details. Choose your c battles carefully and deicide which issues are really important. If they are not important is it really worth and argument. I’m certainly not saying happily married couples never argue, but the do ten to be circumspect in what they argue about and in the manner in which they argue.
Eliminate these Bs. Add the sweet Bs from the previous blog and you might just end up with B – wedded Bliss.
