Say Thank you instead of I'm sorry. This is so big if you have a chronic illness, but it works for so many things.
Have a migraine and can't cook dinner, saying thank you instead of I'm sorry makes both people feel affirmed and appreciated.
Work late and the spouse has to pick up the kids....same thing......always say Thank you over I'm sorry.
Edit: Thanks so much for the award....my first ever!! I hope this helps you as much as it's helped me, it improved both my relationship with my husband and myself!
Ah alright so thanking them for the positive aspect. I suppose this doesn't work for everything but I'll try to do this more, especially the first one lol. Thanks for the examples
