Well you can be happily married if you make your spouse tremendously happy and avoid making them upset, annoyed or unhappy with what Dr. Harley calls a love busters.

What are love busters?

“A love buster is any habit that makes your spouse unhappy,” say Harley

Anything you do or habit that you have which your spouse doesn’t like will eventually drain their love for you.

These cause unrelenting pain and suffering over and over again which eventually takes their toll on the love and romanc your spouse has for you.

There 2 categories of love busters

1. Abuse and control (instinctive and natural)
1. Selfish demands. Tell and expect your spouse to do what you want regardless to how he or she feels. This is different from asking the person politely. It is even better if you ask her how he or she would feel about doing it. The difference is that one is a demand and the other is a request. People tend to respond more and better to requests than demands. No one likes to be told what to do. Request motivates people much better than demands.
2. Disrespectful Judgements: When people don’t respond to demands we are likely begin to think about them negatively. We will judge their character and think it is the fault of their personality.
  1. i. Carla did not get up to make John’s breakfast after he told her to fix something (he had just come in from night duty at the hospital) and he got really mad and called you a “lazy good-for-nothing.” So he is judging her character, which makes her worthless and not a good person to be with.
