Couples: Think Potential

Potential is defined as Possible, as opposed to actual.
With this words, I came to conclusion that I am not prefect nor I should claim that I am. In relationships we expect our spouse to be prefect. Know what to say and when to say it and how to say it, all in prefect time. However, the last few weeks examining my self showed me how far I fall short of being the prefect husband.

Our expectations in relationships are mostly high, and that leads to major frustration toward our partner. So, here is my advice and confession to you and to my partner. Always tell me what I fall short of your expectations, but most importantly, expect me to get better and know that I am trying. Don't look only to my mistakes but look at my potential. Encourage and motivate your partner by looking ahead of the problem. Don't allow the exsitance of the problem henders you down from looking to the potential of growing free.

Think of it as a tree growing and you can't allow the slowness of growing of looking after and watering the tree. As you expect me to be prefect, expect me to want to grow prefect knowing that I am trying.

You are so right, I always see how much you want to work on our relationship and always strive to the better. No one is perfect but it is always working for the better by examining ourselves to how to be a better spouse. I am so in love with who you are :)
