Question of the day

"Our biggest problems are double standards. How do you get over that?"

This question was asked by a dear friend in regard to marriage. How do you deal with the give-take balance. My suggestion, from my 25-year vantage point, was that there are times you feel like you give and give and give and get nothing in return. Your spouse feels the same. Just keep giving and don't keep score. Eventually the other person will want to give back and you'll reach that equilibrium that makes it all worthwhile.
