What I was trying to say is you can't control what your spouse want's in life and the best way of dealing with that is to accept the decisions they make.
It may not make sense at first to think this way.
Your vows?
You said love and honor.
Honor?
Honor only what you agree with?
Or
Honor them in their own decisons and choices?
Love?
Love only when they are peaceful and we agree with their choices?
Or when they are not peaceful. When they are scared. When they are so scared they run away...
When is love most important?
When is its strength called upon?
When is its expression the highest value?
When does its definition become truth to you?
When do you see it for yourself?
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
