Misery: the secret to happiness

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he key to a happy relationship could be accepting that some miserable times are unavoidable, experts say.

Therapists from California State University and Virginia Tech University say accepting these problems is better than striving for perfection.

She said: "People need to try to understand their partners through communication, rather than demanding perfection of them."

The authors recommend using mindfulness, a Buddhist meditation technique, to help cope with family suffering.

Not yet Dukey, not yet :)

I spoke to a good friend today and after listening to him go on about the low points of his life I interupted him and said " I feel so much better about my life, thanks" 8)

Misery is the key to happiness, other people's misery that is...
