Your podcasts are effective. To be honest I read your post and thought, "thankful for my marriage? Yeah, right!" But then I listened to the podcast and I thought, "okay, I'll try..."

I am thankful that:
1)my husband is faithful
2)my husband is great with kids
3)my husband still has a lot of love for me

It isn't 50 things, but on the other hand, to be honest, it took me all of 10 seconds to come up with the list. Then I laughed as I heard you describe how we sometimes want to be left off the hook for own faults, but won't do the same for the spouse. Point taken. I think I'm going back to your ebook for some rereading. Clearly I've forgotten some stuff.

Thanks Lee. You are right, I do look for shortcomings when I do look for things in my marriage. However, and I am being honest, I don't think my spouse even sees being thankful to our marriage. I tried to do a weekly reprsie with him . Each person gets 15 minutes every week to tell their spouse what they liked and did not like the things they experianced with their spoused that week. He calls it childish and not helpful and when he does do it under my persistance, he becomes overcritical of what I did or did not do. And one of them is that I do not sit down and pay 100% of my attention to him when he calls. He told me that he would like me to just sit and talk to him and do nothings else. It is sweet but quite impossible during the waking hous of my 2 children.
