Here's a few more from McGraw.. he has such a simple and matter of fact way of putting things I cant' resist quoting him :
If you have children understand that you have a responsibility for the effect that your choices have on them. Do not put your children in the middle of the fray and make them pick up the tab for your irresponsible behavior.
Turn toward your partner — not away. You absolutely cannot fix a problem inside a relationship by turning outward. All that does is create problems.
Don't play games in your head. It is a short step from thought to action.
Don't confuse reality with fantasy. We often forget that there's a difference between falling in love and being in love. You can't expect a love that grows to be like it was on the first date.
If you want to have a good partner, be a good partner. Put 100 percent into your marriage.
