When You're Thinking He's a Jerk...

When my husband has done something that irks me (like, oh, I don't know... not taking out the garbage or leaving his clothes on the floor)... instead of letting myself dwell on it, I try to switch gears and remember not to sweat the small stuff.

I thought I'd share the affirmation I use in those moments:

_________ is a wonderful man who sincerely wants to please me, cares deeply about how I feel, agrees with me about the really important things, cherishes and protects me, and desires me madly.

I think this only works for so long. Thanks for the advice, but I don't want to be anyone's mother. :)

Doesn't always keep you from wanting to deck him though, does it?

when the madness migrates the wonderfulness will folllow the protection to another location; this I think is the most frequent action BUT ..but you might be the exception validating the RULE.... David does not always find Batsheba.... AMEN
