Step on Stage . . . into a New Play the Two of You Create

In short, your personality, the life mantra you adopt, and the lifestyle you unwittingly choose as a result have everything to do with your satisfaction with your spouse and how you respond in your relationship.

You see life through your own custom-tinted lens. That lens is colored by the vast experiences you’ve had with fickle critters called people in your past. The happier those relationships have been, the more open you will be to seeking an intimate connection with your spouse. If you haven’t experienced much hurt, you’ll always see the positive before the negative in your spouse. You’ll be a sunny-side-up person.

However, if your relationships have been destructive in any way, that lens will be colored with a darker filter. You’ll feel like a victim, even if your spouse doesn’t treat you that way. You’ll exhibit martyr tendencies. You’ll try to please or control others. You’ll always see the negative before the positive in any action your spouse takes.

You didn’t become the person you are out of thin air. You learned to be that person, based on real or imagined wrongs in your life.

You know these secrets, so what will you do about them? Will you keep being an attention getter? A controller? A martyr? A pleaser? A carrot seeker? A cop-out artist? A revenger? Unless you choose to act differently, you’ll automatically act out what you’ve learned along the way.

Now’s your chance. As of this moment, you and your spouse are standing on a stage, and you’re the main actor and actress in your own play. What kind of plot will you create from this moment on with your partner?
