Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws?” —Elizabeth Gilbert
Have you ever had the “what if” conversation with your spouse or partner? What if I die before you, would you want to find another spouse when I’m gone?
We’ve occasionally done this exercise and one time we contemplated the thought of what we would look for in a new spouse. It was funny to hear what my wife and I would look for and what things would be deal breakers. I learned about the things that my wife wished I could change about myself and vice versa.
At the end of this conversation I was comforted to know that my wife accepts my flaws as I do hers because the strengths outweigh the flaws by a wide margin.
We all have flaws we might wish we could change. I’m grateful that our Creator accepts us for who we are and is willing to help us change on a journey to become better people.
Be careful out there!
Romans 12:9-10
