Why do we ignore it when people do some things to us but get so upset when our spouses do the same things? Do we expect so much from them; expect them to know us enough to know that that would hurt us or what?!

It is however expected that the one closest to you hurts you more and most often too. Take for instance my husband’s often reference to the tongue and teeth, they are the closest to each other, cannot function effectively without each other, yet the teeth hurts the tongue more than any other part of the body, and often too, even though the teeth should know the tongue other extremely well. The hands or any other part of the body hardly hurt the tongue, even if they do, it would not be as painful as when it gets bitten by the tongue. It is no different between man and wife, since they are closely knit in marriage, and supposedly closer to each other than anybody else.

I have been following your blogs as often as i could and its been a pleasurable read so far.. This is my first comment. My cousin is about be get married and i was discussing with someone yesterday who made a comment i found interesting. She said and i quote “a Woman of God was asked if she has contemplated divorce and she answered NO but had comtemplated Murder..”lol. She then said to me that it is more than important for one to be guided by God in choosing a life partner. I totally agree

Me too! God’s choice is always best, we can make mistakes but God cannot, so it is wisdom to follow His guidance.

I am guilty of this, too and think its so easy to do so! But you’re so right– ‘errors are covered up by love’.
I’m thankful that I found you through an insightful comment on another site and look forward to reading more from you.

Ugochi, you have made a good point. We women are particularly bad about believing our spouses should read our minds. We forget, they do not perceive things as we do. They think and react differently. As you stated we give others the benefit of the doubt, we should do more so for our spouse. Ninety-nine percent of the time, they do not mean to hurt.
