A man and his girlfriend just got married. The husband didn’t talk much but he was a steady man. The wife was pretty and dreamy. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, “I read in a magazine about how we can
36 our marriage. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit
37 with the other. Then, we can place them on the table to discuss how we
38 them together and make our life even happier.”
“Are you sure you are about to do this?” the husband sighed and
39 . So each of them went to a(n)
40 room and thought about the things that annoyed them about the other for the rest of the day.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their
41 .
“I’ll start,” offered his wife eagerly. She
42 her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. She read all three pages to her husband and seemed to be quite pleased with her hard “work”. After hearing that, the husband stated
43 , “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the
44 that you are. I don’t want you to
45 anything for me.”
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for and his
46 of her without any conditions, turned her head and wept. At that moment, she came to understand the saying: “Beauty lies in the lover's eyes”.
In life, there are enough time when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go
47 for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wonderful things before us? If you are accustomed to judging people, you have no time to love them.
