What Happens to the Non-Deal-Breakers?

by Pauline Jennings

Next time I am stomping around, pissed, muttering to myself the non-deal breaking list of my husband’s nasty habits and quirky tendencies, I’m going to get out pen and paper. I’ll write down the list and go through them one by one to see how small these problems are – how stupid it is to dwell on them. And to thank the heavens there’s no deal breaker among them.

You know, I bet a lot of the time I’ll find that it will shine a light back at me. And then I’ll see how my husband overlooks, embraces, laughs about, doesn’t care about, loves me in spite of and doesn’t judge all of my little quirks and icky habits.

This concludes another view from my married life.
