One of the lessons Marabel Morgan taught in The Total Woman was that a wife should concentrate on her husband's strengths rather than continually dwelling on his shortcomings. She suggested writing down his faults on one sheet of paper and his virtues on another. Then throw away the list of faults and spend time reflecting on his virtues. What a simple but powerful exercise! It is so easy to become critical of the man we married, noticing everything he does wrong while taking for granted all that he does right. But a critical spirit can rob a marriage of its tenderness and joy. When we deliberately look for what is good, admirable, and worthy of respect in our husbands, we cultivate gratitude and affection. The man hasn't changed. But the way we see him has. “Love thinketh no evil.” — 1 Corinthians 13:5
