[quote=Anonymous]This is the crux of many an unhappy marriage. Both partners need to accept each other . . . this wonderful, yet imperfect, person is the one I chose to marry. I can focus on their foibles and shortcomings all day, but that just makes me miserable. You need to focus on each other's strengths and successes. Occasionally you will need to bring up things that you really wish you could change/compromise on, but that should be done in a spirit of "I know you're doing your best and probably don't notice this like I do, but it really bothers me so I'd love to come up with a better system for it." Resentment kills marriages. It's fair to ask your wife, "Do you even LIKE me?" or say, "Of course there are things we all wish were different, but I'm the guy you married and I'm doing my best. If you're going to treat me like some burden or incompetent idiot, why would either of us want to stay in this marriage?"[/quote]
