If Corpse Husband really wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution:
– his pride and short temper
– his insatiable need for praise
– his need to dominate
– his struggle to tolerate criticism

Corpse Husband may experience discord in relationships. Although Corpse Husband is friendly and outgoing and commits Corpse Husband to friendships and partnerships, Corpse Husband often finds it difficult to balance Corpse Husband’s own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs.

To understand and overcome this problem, Corpse Husband should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If Corpse Husband succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship Corpse Husband and Corpse Husband’s partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.
