Listen carefully to what your spouse is really saying to you. Look them in the eyes when they talk to you. Do not interrupt them when they are speaking and stop what you may be working on to look at them when they talk. This shows them that you really care about what they are saying.

This exactly! HrtHsbnd, being happy and caring when you don't receive it is hard. It's easier to show resentment or coldness to another human who's rejecting you. See Sandi's rule above, but the thought experiment is a good idea--accusations and coldness are rarely attractive.
