Re: Fifty Ways to Love Your Partner

Saro...YES..YES..YES! 50 really good tid bits!
One more, might add. Has worked for us is..kinda like a football game. You're either "offense" or "defense", can't be both. By this mean that if other "has the ball" (mad) they are offense and you cannot get mad also, but must remain defense (listen, don't argue back). In other words, no heated arguments. Yet, you can occasionally, "vent your anger (hey...we're all human) by "having the ball".
