LERAN TO PUT UP WITH HIS LITTLE QUIRKS- HE’S LEARNED TO PUT UP WITH YOURS.

Patiently put up with each other and love each other. Ephesians 4::2.... Whether traveling across the plains in a Conestoga wagon or touring the country in a motor home, spouses have always irritated each other. A woman whose husband insists on re-double checking the tire pressure gets just as annoyed as the woman whose mate kept stopping to examine the horseshoes. If toothpaste came in tubes back then, surely one of those spouse squeezed it wrong. And it’s a safe bet that at least one pair of socks got left on the prairie because some wife had had enough of her husband’s habit of throwing dirty clothes everywhere. If it’s a simple matter for you to change a little quirk that gets on your spouse’s nerves, make the change. Anything you can do to promote harmony in your home will pay great dividends. Your partner will thank you, and you won’t have to endure anymore nagging (at least on that issue). And if your loved one does some small thing that rubs you the wrong way, communicate your feelings constructively- once. Beyond that, overlook the behavior Decide that it’s not worth getting upset about and fighting over. Correct the “error” when and if necessary, joke about it occasionally, and choose to love your spouse all the more for their endearing foibles. Rather than constantly pointing out your partners faults, focus on what you can do to travel through life together peacefully!
