Saving Marriages in the Recession -- Patience, Honesty, and Frugality?
It would seem that while the recession has placed strain on the U.S. Marriage, there were some key behaviors that help to keep things together. Not surprising, being honest with one another, finding a new pool of patience, and working to make the best out of challenge helped immensely.
Interestingly, Frugality played a part as well...not in buying less or spending smart given limited funds. It would seem that people postponed their split up because the cost of splitting up was too cumbersome...lawyer fees, divorce fees, etc.
It would seem that the need to be frugal...which was forced, nudged people to find common ground in their relationships.

The Joy in what you do...
The attitude and perspective you have can take on a number of perspectives...and people notice and form opinions about that energy. You can live with a sense of purpose and vision or you can live with a myopic point of view that limits potential.
There is a great story about three bricklayers that illustrates this point. One content with the mundane, one who demonstrates potential, and one who works with Joy.
There were three bricklayers working on a construction site. A person, being curious, asked the first what he was doing. The man stated "Can't you see what I am doing, I am laying bricks".
After walking a bit further, he came across a second bricklayer and asked her what she was doing. The woman answered "I am building this wall."
Approaching the third person, he asked again what the bricklayer was doing. The bricklayer stopped what she was doing, smiled, and said "I am building a Cathedral!".

Stop and consider....are you laying bricks, or are you building a Cathedral? Find the joy you have in your life and apply it to everything that you do.
