One of the keys to a happy and successful marriage is mutual understanding. It is next to impossible to live with a person you are always trying to figure out. Understanding must not be mistaken for remodeling. No one likes to be made over - especially if it is your husband or wife trying to do it. This only tends to make the sparks fly.
Understanding means accepting a person as he is for what he is. We are able to help each other but desirable changes are made only through patience, love, understanding and never by conflict. Accept him for himself - not the man you want him to be. Trust him with your whole heart, confide in him, believe in your mate and cooperate with him! Shield him (never take sides against him), cheer him, be patient when things go wrong. Understand his ways of thinking; he is out earning money for the family and has a lot of stressful decisions to make!
Remember, sharp tongues and critical attitudes will only lead to disharmony and utter confusion for you and your mate! Happy Friday for sure!!!

Great advice, you and I haven't stayed married to our husbands for over 40 years by disrespecting them or trying to change them but by accepting them as they are AMEN after all I'm not perfect LOL
