Goddard- Optimism Fundimental in Marriage

The amount of things we have don't increase our happiness, but being grateful for the things we have does.

Irritation is an invitation- 

When we're upset with our spouses, we're not seeing things the way they see them. 

John Gottman- Relationship Cure

We make "bids for connection"

Re-write history with forgiveness as the theme.  Find the glory in your marital story.  Don't let discouragements make you think that you never loved your spouse.

Our human brains are liars.  Tendency we have to forget.  Our brains remember what we rehearse.  So, we get decide our marital story about what we chose to remember.

Atonement Chapters in Book of Mormo- Lehi before he dies, 
Alma 42- Alma teaches Corianton

When we get the true doctrine of the Atonement in our hearts, it tends to settle all other problems.
