HOW TO CORRECT YOUR PARTNER

1. Do not correct your spouse in public. It makes him or her feel embarrassed

2. Do not shout at your partner when correcting




3. Do not correct your spouse about something serious when you two don't have ample time to talk about it. Do it in a relaxed atmosphere




4. Do not correct or shout on your spouse in front of your children. It shows disrespect.




5. Don't compare your spouse with others saying "Why can't you be like other women/men?", "Why can't you be like so and so?". It undermines your spouse and kills self confidence




6. Don't bring up your spouse's mistakes of the past. It only compounds issues

7. Praise your spouse more than you give criticism




8. As you correct your partner, don't let your partner doubt your love. You can do this by saying "You know I love you. Sweetheart, I noticed that...."

9. Do not let your feelings get the best of you and say irrational things




10. Expect a push back from your partner or a justification, most adults don't take correction lightly but if you remain gentle, eventually your partner will be receptive
