“He is such a slob.”
“Why can’t he think of me for once?”
“If he changes the channel one more time I’m going to scream!”
If you’ve been married for more than a day and a half you’ve probably had some annoying thoughts bounce around your head. It’s common. But, is thinking negatively where your mind camps? Is this the warm dwelling place you’ve invited negativity to hang out every day?
