Your happiness should not be dependent on the other person. Focus on being the best you can be, even if your partner is not. If you expect the worst from your partner, you’re more likely to see and focus on your conflicts and problems. Try to be attentive to subtle, positive changes in how you and your partner interact. Share these positive changes with your partner.Be flexible. Don’t demand that everything be done your way. Marriage is a cooperative partnership. Neither of you will get your way all the time.
