NO POINTING FINGERS
A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."
We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other three fingers are pointing at ourselves.
If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.
Wow! I was deeply touched! How do you nurture your relationship?

I have found no one has a perfect marriage. I have aunts and uncles that I thought had a perfect marriage. But no they just hid it really good. It all comes out sooner or later.
I have found being honest and being able to comunicate with each other is what makes a good marriage.
