Marriage Tip 11. Don't be defensive
It's only natural to become defensive when someone makes a complaint
against you.
You feel like you're being criticized or attacked so the barriers
immediately go up.
However, this is a mistake, especially in married life.
You must be able to take criticism from your partner in calm, mature
manner.
If you simply become argumentative or respond with a complaint
of your own, not only will an argument ensue but your husband will
become increasingly frustrated.
So be willing to accept when you're in the wrong, resolve the issue
and move on.
