How do happy couples cope with a partner`s maddening imperfections? By transforming them. Apparently, linking your beloved`s flaws to his virtues makes it easier to keep his good points in mind. Some flaw makeovers to learn from:
FLAW
"He`s stubborn".
"He`s withdrawn".
"He doesn`t always say what he`s feeling".
"He has to discuss every minor point".
SILVER LINING
"But I respect him for having the courage to be firm about his convictions".
"But he finds lots of ways to show he cares".
"But that`s because he works things out in his mind first".
"But we`ve never had a small problem turn into a big disagreement".
