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,
