To me, it means don't try to change the person or criticize them in order get them to do what you want. One example I have is that My husband was always late to everything and wanted to wake up late all the time. I was constantly complaining about this in order to get him to be like me...neurotically early to everything. In hind site, I could have let this go and focused on some of the really good traits he had. Just accept that being late was his thing. And perhaps take separate cars if I was that worried.

My husband really didn't complain about me much, until this past year.
