The first step in getting over a marriage problem is to remember that you aren't alone, lots of couples have marriage problems that stem from all kinds of different types of behavior.

Here's a partial list of marriage problems that you may or may not be experiencing:

Marriage problem #1: Lack of sexual intimacy - a serious issue that you must work through in my opinion if your going to work it out.

Marriage problem #2: Exploding during an argument, getting too emotional and letting your temper get best of you - you need to learn to work together and you can't do that if one of you is getting too heated.

Marriage problem #3: Being selfish - eventually this will catch up to you. You should always think of your partner when you think of yourself.

Marriage problem #4: Being dishonest - another serious issue. If you cannot be 100% honest and open with your mate, you're marriage is most likely doomed or at very least unhappy.

Marriage problem #5: Teasing too much- generally husband does this but it could go either way. If there's a little bit of truth to teasing or there's a greater marriage problem that incites teasing, you could be in for a long road to recovery together. Chances are that you'll have a lot more work to do to correct this marriage problem.

Marriage problem #6: Not respecting your spouse - this marriage problem can result in all types of other problems. If you are experiencing this you must get to root of this and figure out why disrespect is present. If you aren't getting every day respect that you deserve, make it a priority to not let this go on another day.

ADD / ADHD children are brilliant, full of energy, smart as a whip (as grandma says),

and tons of work. They are also rising sun and setting star: meaning much of

life revolves around them in one way or another. One tactic you might employ is to: be

your child's best friend.

Hear me out just a bit. I am not promoting parents in "jammies" all day-- everyday,

messy homes filled with increasing whirlwind clutter that no-one attends to, nor hot

dogs and pizza nightly just to avoid more arguing with an ADD / ADHD child.

I am suggesting reminder we all need with these special needs children: keep

perspective. And yes-- try thinking along lines of being best friends with your child.

Best friends are people who look out for best interest of another.

Best friends have a special tolerance for each other.

Best friends set aside time to truly know each other and how each other thinks and

feels.

Best friends stand up for one-another, for their rights, their feelings, their health, and

their needs.

Best friends look forward to more time together.

Best friends cherish each other dearly.

Best friends also speak truth and help guide each other along journey of life

together.

Here are more simple reminders that we easily forget when caught up in our daily

grind. I hope they will help from time to time with your ADD / ADHD parenting:

* Remember to keep rules-- but not TOO many rules all at once... all time! * Schedule FUN * Stop being organized now and then to ad-lib and make delight shine for you both

again! * Yes-- even with medicated kids some days are suddenly going to be worse than
