If we took a survey of married people and asked, "Are you married to a wimp?", how many do you think would say "Yes."    Take a guess.

In my totally unscientific study based on 20 years in marriage counseling, I would estimate the number at 99 out of every 100 couples.

The other one would have to consult their lawyer.

In parenting, it's so much easier to accept children than it is to bring out the best in them.  Parents are great at raising wimps, they just don't want to be married to one.

When your son can't find himself it's a tragedy.  When your husband complains of the same condition, it's criminal intent.

We have forgotten how to bring out the best in others.  In fact, we don't really know how to do it in ourselves too well.

We are high on sympathy and low on understanding.  We are great at forgiving but poor at correcting.

It may be true that you are married to a wimp.  But what's more important is understanding that your job is to be the coach for your children and your spouse.

Put another way, I have never heard a mother say, "My son (or daughter) is a loser."

That husband of yours is someone's son.  That wife is someone's daughter.

No child is a loser, and any parent who thinks so is the one who really lost.  Our spouses aren't losers, it's us.....   we gave up.   GetBliss.com

The Bliss Philosophy is built around the idea that slight small and consistent changes, that in sports will produce remarkable results are similarly true in marriage and parenting.
