"Couples that pray together stay together".
When couples try to read the mind of their partner they
generally guess wrong. This is especially true in couples who
argue a lot. The individual who tries reading the mind of their
partner often assume they know what their partner is feeling and
thinking. These assumptions are often in error and create more
problems. Individuals who expect their spouse to read their mind
are asking for trouble and playing an unfair game.
