How true it is that women want it all and don't appreciate what they have. For the men, I can completely understand that they would only visit the second floor. As for me, being married several times and having many relationships. I can completely understand this. I was one of those women wanting the impossible. I have matured since those days and hope that I am setting a good example to my teenage daughter to not set her expectations high but not too high. Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles offered this counsel: “...The key is to have our eyes wide open to our own faults and partially closed to the faults of others—not the other way around! The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.” Therefore, when we focus on finding the right person, we should also focus on becoming the right person for someone else. The strengths we bring to a marriage will undoubtedly contribute to the success of the marriage. It took me a long time to realize that I could not change another person to form to my expectations or expect too much. I love my husband and he his has faults but so do I. We work through our differences most of the time and it helps us to grow closer. I think this is great. How true it is that women want it all and don’t appreciate what they have.
