A Perfect Person

A man and his girlfriend were married, it was a large celebration. All their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black suit. Everyone could tell that the love had for each other was true.

A few months later, the wife comes the husband with a proposal:

 “I read in the magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage.” She offered.

“Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”

The husband agreed, so each of them went to separate rooms in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other . They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they come up with.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their list.

 “I’ll start,” offered the wife.

 She took out her list. It had many items on it enough to fill three pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband’s eyes. 

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Nothing” the husband replied,

“Keep reading your lists.”

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over on top of it.

“Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both our lists.” She said happily.

Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don’t want to change you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.”

The wife , touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and hi acceptance for her, turned her head and wept.

-----Some true messages from this--------

There are enough times when we are dis appointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. That is the full beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying things when we can look around us ,and see the wondrous things before us? I believe that WE ARE HAPPIST WHEN WE SEE AND PRAISE THE GOOD AND TRY OUR BEST TO FORGET THE BAD.

Always remember:

  Nobody’s PERFECT but we can find PERFECTNESS in them to change the way we see them.
