Have you ever secretly compared your spouse to another
man or woman? Thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. Wishing
they were more thoughtful, more spiritual, more loving, affectionate, a better
kisser, dresser. If you have, you’re not the first and you definitely won’t be
the last. Truth be known the grass is not necessarily greener on the other
side.
We all come with our eccentricities in one form or another;
he might leave the toilet seat up while your preference might be to leave it
down. Truth be known from a health perspective it should always be down to
minimise the spread of any bacteria.
Our spouses are the people we fell in love with, and
often they just need a little encouragement. Instead of comparing and
complaining, nurture your mate in the areas they need it most, encourage,
edify, build each other up. Raise the bar of expectation to a higher level
demonstrating your growth, mentally and spiritually aspire to inspire and
reciprocate all that is good.
I heard about a good looking millionaire who married a
plain-looking woman. It was the talk of the town. “Why did he marry her? She’s
not up to his standard. It won’t last!” Was the talk of the town. When they
came back from an extended honeymoon, it looked like the millionaire was with
another woman, one glowing with confidence and poise. “Now that’s the kind of
wife he deserves,” declared the town loud-mouth.
Then she noticed something interesting, it was the
same woman completely transformed! Her new husband had taken her away,
encouraged her and built up her self-confidence till she started to see in
herself what he’d always seen. So instead of walking around on your neighbour’s
grass, fertilise your own by looking for the good in your spouse.
