Relationship

I think the root of all problems in relationships starts with this thought "Why don't they do it like I would" or, "Why aren't they just like me."

After all, you are perfect, right?

Maybe we need to appreciate differences in others more. Think to yourself if the house will really, truly burn down if something isn't done exactly like you want it done. After all, they have survived somehow all this time doing it their way.

Perhaps it isn't the action itself, but the need to be in control that is the problem? We all love to be controlled, don't we (insert sarcasm)-- so that means your spouse loves it when you control them, right?

In other words, lets lighten up a little and appreciate the differences in others. This applies to our kids as well.
