Are you really all of that?

I read a status message on facebook that had me laughing all day long.  Essentially, it went like this:  My ex told me that I'll never meet anyone else like her.  My response was - God I hope not.

One of the reasons that message was so funny is because it forced me to face the reality that perhaps my ideas and intentions of being a great partner fall short of what my husband believes are the qualities of a perfect mate.  We argue and disagree from time to time of course.  But beyond the differences of opinions, preferences, and ideals there is a solid foundation beneath us and God within each of us.  

So today, I have decided to realize that my ideals of perfection may really be far from his.  Today, it makes sense that the way I prefer he communicate with me may not be the way he prefers to be communicated with.  Today, I'm looking for level ground in my relationships.  I'm willing to consider that I may not be 'all of that' to my mate - maybe you should too.

In joy,

Andrea
