Don't Make This Mistake

I usually (never) write about my wife or our marriage.  But today I am going to make an exception.

My wife:

  • A Born Again Christian---I'm not
  • Hates any movie or tv show that has a murder, blood, or is too scary---I like them
  • Never (really never) has a negative thought---Ok, I admit it, I at times do
  • Doesn't like to watch the news because it is depressing---I'm a news junkie
  • Gives homeless people $20 at a time----My jaw drops to the floor when she does that

The list could go on and on but I think you get the idea.  My wife and I are two totally different types of people.

We knew we were opposites when we married.   We made a promise (remember what a promise is?) to each other that we would stay together no matter what.

We just celebrated our 2 year anniversary in April.  At times it has been difficult and at times it has been wonderful.

I have found that the biggest mistake you can make, when dealing with your significant other, is to not let them be who they are.

Some Rules:

  • Let them have their own opinions
  • Let them view the world and life through their eyes
  • Never force them to agree with you because you think your right
  • Don't think winning the battle but losing the war ever makes sense
  • Forcing your wife to feel bad doesn't accomplish anything
  • Your a better person if you apologize first

The biggest mistake you can make is not treating your wife/husband like you would like to be treated.  And I'm sure, like me, you would like to be treated in a way that allows you to be yourself without fear of any repercussions.

Life is too short to make the worst mistake possible:  Treating the person that loves you with anything less than 100% love in return.
