Thank God daily for such a terrific guy, mentioning specific qualities for which I'm grateful. * Look for daily ways to be a blessing to my husband (trying to understand what pleases him, anticipating his needs, etc.). * Chart my menstrual cycle and remind myself on the PMS days that what I'm feeling isn't true and to keep my mouth shut and let it pass. * Avoid books, magazines, and TV shows that describe what marriage, family, and husbands ought to be like, and make a conscious effort to be grateful for things as they are instead of trying to change the people around me. * Take responsibility for my own emotional well-being: Stay rested, don't overcommit and then complain, stay in touch with friends with a positive influence. * Stay focused on making a home for my family and remember that this is my highest calling and responsibility, and that it has eternal value. The more I do this, the happier and more content I am.
