4. Learn to Check Yourself

Dealing with your baggage is going to be a process. It is not something you do overnight. So in the meantime, you have to learn to check yourself. I brought some bad habits into our marriage like trying to stay mad for days after a disagreement, never apologizing and the list goes on. These are bad habits that I have either seen growing up or that I have brought from past relationships. When I catch myself doing these things, I check myself. I am learning to change my behaviors and my husband recognizes and appreciates my efforts.
