“A wife, if she is very generous, may allow that her husband lives up toperhaps eighty percent of her expectations. There is always the other twenty percent that she would like to change, and she may chip away at it for the whole of their married life without reducing it by very much. She may, on the other hand, simply decide to enjoy the eighty percent, and both of them will be happy.” Elizabeth Elliott
You know how many times I have just picked at the twenty percent of what I don't like about my husband but you know, this morning I found the 80% reasons why I married this man and you know, that makes me happy! I don't type that lightly.
