Relationship Tip #4

The next tip from "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" is:  
ASSUME THE BEST. 
"Whenever there is a question of motivation or intention, assume the best about the other person.  This will help his or her behavior to actually be more positive."  -Dr. Amen
We have so much more control over our own happiness than we realize!  We can choose our attitude.  We can choose how we react to any given situation.  And here's the kicker: how we choose to act has a strong effect on how our partner will respond.  If we assume the best, we'll feel better about the situation, and our spouse will feel better (and act better too).
