Banish unhappiness by avoiding these mistakes By Jenna Birch

Of course you want the happiest marriage possible, but little things you do-some of which you don't notice-may be damaging your relationship.

Steer clear of the following mistakes to keep your marriage on the right track. Photos by Thinkstock

1. You wait for your husband to speak up if he needs something, especially sex.

Men want to be strong, not vulnerable, and many feel they can't admit to having additional needs. If he senses you're too busy for, or not open to, hearing his desires, he'll stay mum-and miserable. "Ask him what he's thinking and wanting," advises clinical psychologist Andra Brosh, PhD. "Don't wait for him to bring it up because he probably won't."

the pastWe hear it all of the time, "keep the past in the past." We are taught that dwelling on yesterday can be toxic for our relationships and to call it anything less than a hindrance to our relationship's growth would be an understatement. But, sometimes revisiting the past can be a good thing. However, as with many things it all comes down to how you look at it.

I, for one, am a proponent of looking back. While I agree that dwelling on the past can cause problems within your relationship, particularly when it comes to holding onto past hurt and indiscretions, this isn't always the case.
