What do you say to each other?by Heather Long | More from this Blogger 29 May 2006 11:00 AM Have you ever made a thoughtless remark and wished you could take it back? More often than not, we all have. The worst part of it is that when we make these thoughtless remarks, we genuinely don't mean them but they are the first thing that slips through the lips.

It may take only a little bit of time, but if you practice - the positive rolls off the tongue as easily as the negative. Negative Comments:

Robert Crutchfield (165) 29 May 2006 02:20 PMIts no secret that married people argue. It comes with the territory. But there are ways of arguing that eat at a relationship, and ways that tell your spouse that you love them you're angry. Watching your word choice when things get heated is a big part of the difference. One key is to not get personal. keep your comments focused on the source of your anger, not your spouse !
