How to Work with Your Spouse’s Vices
“Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.”
― Katharine Hepburn
Marriage is hard when you try to control who you are married to.
Marriage is hard when you try to force your marriage to fit the ideal in your head.
Marriage is hard when you think you can make your marriage into exactly what you want it to be.
It takes two hands to clap and it takes two to make a good (or bad) marriage.
Your way is not the right way, but if you believe it to be the only way, you are bound to have a lot of issues in your happily ever after story.
Just because your spouse performs tasks differently than you would, does not make them wrong. ‘Live and let live’ can go a long way in life.
Stop trying to change your partner.
