Since I had a great mother-in-law, this wasn’t a horrible thought for me. But what if you’re seeing your spouse as a reincarnation of your parent and that’s not a good thing? It’s important to know that it’s part of what your brain is wired to do. But, while it might be normal, that doesn’t mean it isn’t causing problems. The good news—you have the power to change that. Clinical Psychologist, author, and Director of Research and Education for the Glendon Association, Dr. Lisa Firestone (<a href="http://www.psychalive.org/)" rel="noopener">http://www.psychalive.org/)</a>, reviews why this happens and what you can do to make your marriage different.<br /><br />Send your comments and suggestions to Lesli (<a href="http://www.leslidoares.com/contact)" rel="noopener">http://www.leslidoares.com/contact)</a>; she’d really like to hear from you.

The truth is most of us have at one time or another. Our society worships at the altar of logic but the advertising industry exists because it aims at our emotions. Yes, emotions are messy. They are often confusing and painful. But they are also the glue that holds relationships together and allow us to have dimension in our lives. Psychologist and Harvard lecturer Dr. Holly Parker (//www.drhollyparker.com) explains the important role emotions play in our lives and how you can fully embrace them.

How can you find someone you supposedly love so annoying? More importantly, do you just have to suffer in silence or is there something you can do that doesn’t involve throwing things? In a word, yes. Author and developmental psychologist Dr. Deborah Davis (<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/laugh-cry-live)" rel="noopener">https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/laugh-cry-live)</a> has the answer to dealing with those annoying habits once and for all.

But happiness is, and always will be, an inside job. That’s the good news. The more challenging news is, since you can’t make anyone else happy, you have to find a way to deal with their disappointment when you are making your own happiness. This doesn’t mean you can ignore your partner’s feelings but you don’t own them either. If the idea of taking care of yourself means you break out in a sweat of selfishness, or if you turn yourself inside out so no one else is uncomfortable, then Dr. Don MacDonald has some words of wisdom for you. He is the author of The Underdog Curse: The Cause, The Cure, Your Road to Success and a recovering people-pleaser.

It’s also a common belief that all couples, even happy ones, fight. So it isn’t any surprise that marriages with these characteristics are thought to be normal. But they don’t have to be. Couples struggle negotiating a wonderful marriage because they end up as adversaries instead of allies when faced with a disagreement. In their desire to each be right, they end up making their partner be wrong. This process continues in an endless loop that takes all the love and joy out of the relationship.

So it isn’t any surprise that marriages with these characteristics are thought to be normal. But they don’t have to be. Couples struggle negotiating a wonderful marriage because they end up as adversaries instead of allies when faced with a disagreement. In their desire to each be right, they end up making their partner be wrong. This process continues in an endless loop that takes all the love and joy out of the relationship.

For most of history, marriage has been the means to define parentage, transfer property, and provide societal stability. What it hasn’t been is static.

These changes mean that your marriage can be much more individualized than ever before. But this freedom can be challenging because there are now so many options. Deborah A.
