Perfection is an illusion…especially in our relationships.
I also think, expecting your spouse to be perfect, or your marriage to be perfect, sets one of you up for failure and the other person up for disappointment.
It’s been my experience, that even the most healthy relationship is about 15% jacked up. :-)
15% of the time they don’t like each other, they are fighting about everything, they are on each other’s last nerve, and they are pretty sure they married the wrong person.
Now, I’m not saying we should accept mediocrity in our relationships, but I am saying we should show ourselves and our spouses a little more grace.
Do the little things right.
Strive to have an extraordinary relationship by doing the next best thing.
Work at falling in love after your wedding day.
Learn to disagree agreeably.
Just realize, the couple you idolize and think have a perfect marriage, are also severely jacked up about 15% of the time. :-)
