YOUR PARTNER IS NOT YOUR ENEMY
Your partner is your ally, not your enemy.
In the early days of marriage, it feels much like the beginning of dating. Nothing seems more beautiful than your partner's beauty, nothing more impressive than your partner's strength. However, as time passes and the relationship matures, your partner's imperfections become more apparent. These imperfections aren't flaws—they're gaps that you're meant to fill. When you discover your partner's shortcomings, complete them. Didn't God create you to complement your partner's imperfections? God created you because He knew only you could fill what your partner lacks. God placed them beside you so your own imperfections could be completed by them. If you feel your partner isn't meeting your expectations, communicate this and guide them gently. Likewise, if you feel inadequate for your partner, strive to improve yourself. Many couples fail to understand this concept. Some relationships even end when imperfections are discovered. Perhaps many find other women or men more attractive. This happens because we've already identified our partner's shortcomings. The only solution is to convince ourselves that searching for perfection is futile, as everyone has imperfections. Therefore, instead of seeking perfection elsewhere, we should perfect the person already by our side.
