So who has a perfect marriage? No one I know - for sure. Each of us has our problems. But the difference lies in our ability to handle it.

Let's say you have a dozen problems in your relationship with your spouse. It's driving you crazy - because you don't have a dozen solutions at hand.

The thing is, you don't need a dozen solutions. You can manage with just a couple. The main 'weapons' you need in your armoury are patience and good humour.

Yes, 'weapons'. They're the best things you can choose to arm yourself with. No matter what the problem is, you will be able to cope.

Evaluate every relationship with patience and good humour. The more important the relationship, the more you need these two qualities.

Is your husband too busy and not spending enough time with the family? A little patience and a lot of good humour will certainly improve this relationship.

Are the two of you growling and grimacing at each other for no reason at all? Try a bit of giggling instead. You'll find the tension dissipating and the mood lightening.

Are tempers flaring more often than they should? Try patience. And fortitude. The determination to stay put and weather out the storm. You'll feel better the next morning.

The crux of the matter is that you always have a choice. You can choose the way you react to every situation. You can choose a good-humoured approach or you can choose otherwise. Using your weapons may not always be a balanced approach. But they will help you deal with unpleasant situations in novel ways. They work to your advantage. They help you to have a more positive attitude in life.
