It's like this man I heard about. His wife was making him breakfast and he asked for two eggs, one scrambled and one fried. So she made them and put them on a plate. When he saw them he shook his head. She said. "what did I do wrong now? That's exactly what you asked for" He said, " I should have known it. You fried the wrong egg."
You see, you can train yourself to see your spouse's strenghts, or you can train yourself to see their weaknesses. You can focus on what you like about your spouse and magnify their good qualities, or you can focus on what you don't like and magnify the things that annoy you.
Some people have become so critically minded that no matter what the other one does,it's not going to be right. They never see the good their spouse does anymore, and they're are forgotten the reasons they fell in love and got married. It's because they're magnifying the wrong things
I know we all have faults and things that can get on each other's nerves. But the key is what are you magnifying?Are you just magnifying that annoyance, letting a critical spirit rise up? or are you choosing to see the good and only focusing the good.

this is similar to the glass half filled with water. the majority of people will say its half empty, only a few will look at it half full.
