Make two lists.  Make one list of at least 10 things you adore about your spouse.  Make another list of things you wish were different about your spouse.

Rip the second list up.  (Save the first for later)

You see, when you married your spouse, you CHOSE to love them.  THEM.  Not someone perfect, not someone flawless, THEM.  There will be bad times, there will be great times – and regardless which of those you are in right now, you can CHOOSE to love your spouse.  It doesn’t mean you have to like everything they do sometimes, but it does mean that you accept them and love them despite all of that…just like God chooses to love us with each of our flaws.  Recognize your spouse is human and practice loving them today!
