Introspection Can Help Make Your Marriage Better
Are you being selfish in your marriage? Do you expect more of your spouse than you can offer? Do you expect your spouse to be perfect while calling your flaws being human? Do you treat your spouse the way you want to be treated? Do you expect your spouse to accept your family and friends and treat them with respect while you go pooh-poohing his/her family and friends? Do you make fun of your spouse’s religious and political views because they don’t match yours? Well, these questions are probably the ones you never asked yourself. The ones who have are better placed in personal relationships than those who haven’t. Why do I say so? Read on.
Introspection is a dying virtue. It is easier to point fingers at others rather than looking into ourselves. How equal is your marriage? Are you in the habit of blaming, shaming and criticizing your partner? OK. he/she has flaws, but are your really that perfect? Have you ever asked that question?
You never introspect. Sit back and analyze your actions, your behavior. Are you really that perfect? If your spouse has flaws, you do too. You have to understand that a marriage needs equal participation. You cannot expect your spouse to do what you don’t want to or cannot do.
You need to understand your role in the happiness and the conflicts in your relationship with your spouse. Are you the reason for more conflicts than happiness? Are your complaints ruining your marriage and snatching your spouse’s mental peace? These are questions you need to ask yourself if you want a healthy marriage. Just blaming your spouse for everything or expecting changes from him/her won’t do. Start introspecting today.
