Thoughts on Marriage Counseling
Joke of the day:
- Marriage is love.
- Love is blind.
- Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind!
We can laugh out loud (LOL) at that one. But I wonder if there is a kernel of truth in it?
Wouldn’t our relationships be less conflictual and more satisfying if we could be “blind” to some of our spouse’s faults? You know that your spouse is not perfect, and you probably can reluctantly admit that you aren’t perfect either. So overlooking some of the little things about your spouse that drive you crazy could be a good thing. Remember that you are doing some things that drive your spouse crazy too.
So consider those things that drive you nuts and put on your blinders. Try it for a day, then a week, and see what happens. I bet you’ll be amazed!
