Perfect Partner
A man and his girlfriend
were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came
to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations.
A wonderful time was had by all.
The bride was gorgeous in
her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo.
Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. A few
months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine,
a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered.
"Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying
with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and
make our lives happier together."
The husband agreed, so each
of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that
annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of
the day and wrote down what they came up with.
The next morning, at the
breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll
start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it
enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little
annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands
eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing" the
husband replied, "keep reading your lists." The wife continued to
read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her
list on the table and folded her hands over top of it.
"Now, you read your
list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said
happily.
Quietly the husband stated,
"I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way
that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and
wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."
The wife, touched by his
honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her
head and wept.
In
life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed.
We don't really have to go looking for them.
We have
a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste
time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can
look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?
I believe that WE ARE
HAPPIEST WHEN we see and praise the good and try our best to forget the bad.
Nobody's perfect but we can find perfectness in them to change the way we see
them
Always remember that you can never find a Perfect
partner to love you the way you wanted, only a person who’s willing to love you
more that what you are. Someone who’ll accept you for what can and can’t be. And
that’s even better than perfect…
