3. You and your spouse need to agree to commit to improving your relationship and demonstrate that commitment to each other. Nobody is “right” all the time–when you are wrong admit it don’t try to defend your opinion or actions. When you feel that your partner is wrong use a little psychology and agree with any opinions that they have that you can accept, then subtly steer them around to your way of thinking.
