As our marriage progresses I slowly find out those reasons that make my husband do certain things. And one of our favorite movies explains this progression very well...in the movie 'Fireproof' the character,played by Kirk Cameron, reads part of the love dare to his coworker. He says...and I'm paraphrasing...that you should study your spouse even after marriage. And, you should work your way up as if you were in school, from elementary all the way to your bachelor's degree and continue as far as you can and as long as you can. The more you pay attention, the better your relationship will be. I have to say, that in comparison to a grade level, our studying is probably still in the elementary level, but it keeps going up.
Today I discovered a few things about my husband. They were small, but they certainly count! These things help me to understand his quirks...you know those things that don't make sense to you, and therefore drive you insane? There is probably something behind it! Study your spouse, it will save you from those silly arguments that you won't remember later. And it doesn't matter if anyone else understands his quirky behavior....my grandma still wants to bop my husband every time he licks his plate at her house, even though I have explained to her the reason behind it...he only licks his plate when he REALLY likes the food...but all my grandma sees is bad manners.
See the reason, and if its not enough to be angry about, then let it go and just love them for it!
