5 "Aha" Marriage Tips You Need to Know: Part 2 

#2 - Attitude affects actions.


The reason attitudes are so important is that they affect my behavior and words. I may not be able to control my environment: sickness, alcoholic spouse, teenager on drugs, aging parents, etc. but I am responsible for what I do within my environment. My attitude will greatly influence my behavior.

If I look for the positive in my marriage, then I'm more likely to talk positively: give my spouse affirming words, and to do something that has the potential for enhancing life for both of us.

On the other hand, if I focus on the negative, I'm more likely to give my spouse critical, condemning words. This type of behavior will often result in one of two actions:

  1. I'll do things to hurt my spouse, or  
  2. I'll withdraw and consider leaving my spouse.
Yes, my attitude affects my actions.
