Self-Exploration #10 - Mary Poppins is delusional. Nobody's perfect.

Next week I'll be moving Self Exploration to Mondays. Because I can. If this is your first experience with self exploration, (and I mean the kind on my blog - not the literal kind), then you might want to read this one - it was the inaugural edition.

This weeks question is brought on by my experiences over the last 48 hours or so.

Every marriage has it's moments. You can't live with this quirk or that habit anymore, so you get frustrated. Then start either the snippy comments leading to an argument, or the silence which leads to a lot of thinking about what you ARE going to say when you start talking again.

The down side of this process is that you spend a lot of time thinking about how irritating your spouse can be, (childishly throwing balls into the ceiling fan until it breaks). You pick out all of their flaws, (chewing with his mouth open), and you feed them and water them, sing to them and give them plenty of sunlight, until those flaws have grown to prize-winning size and cast a shadow over all your cute, little imperfections.

Isn't that convenient?

So today, we're going to take a look in the relationship mirror. Your question is:

What little thing could you do to be a better spouse/significant other/cheesy best friend?

And for the love of marriage counselors everywhere, please answer anonymously.

And note that I said "little thing". I don't want to hear about how you borrow your wife's underwear and put it back without washing it. That is not a "little thing". That is something requiring professional help.
