I would hate to be married to . . .
- Someone who thinks they know everything.
- Someone who is never pleased, no matter what I do.
- Someone who criticizes more than compliments.
- Someone who laughs at me and not with me.
- Someone who talks more than listens.
- Someone who is rude and disrespectful to me and others.
- Someone who thinks they’re perfect.
- Someone who is jealous of my success.
- Someone who refuses to be happy.
- Someone who neglects our children.
- Someone who is selfish and self-centered.
- Someone who keeps a record of my wrongs.
- Someone who is not in love with me.
- Someone who values material items more than people.
- Someone who ignores me.
- Someone who mocks my dreams and goals.
- Someone who always sees the glass half-empty.
- Someone who looks to me to make them happy.
- Someone who thinks lying is okay.
- Someone who loves self more than God.
- Someone who thinks love is conditional.
- Someone who cringes at my touch.
- Someone who wishes they were married to someone else.
This is my prayer: Lord, help me NOT to be the spouse I would hate to be married to. Amen.
Who would you hate to be married to, and how do you make sure you don’t become that person?
