Looking At The Big Picture

Dear Dr. Laura:

Last week, I walked into our kitchen and found a glass in the sink.  There is a glass in the same sink every morning.  My husband puts it in the sink after he takes medication at night.  It's there every morning.  That day, I was feeling a bit touchy about it, so I put the glass in the dishwasher while waiting for him to come into the kitchen so I could point out my irritation at the glass in the sink every morning.  

While I was waiting for him, I noticed on my phone that there were some new activities added to our family calendar.  My husband had arranged a lovely trip to wine country, with special cooking classes and dinners to celebrate our 27th anniversary.  I decided then and there to keep my mouth shut about the glass.  I was about to make an atom-sized annoyance into a mountain with my critical magnifying glass.

He provides for our family by making it possible for me to stay home with our four children.  He is kind, generous, patient, a loving father, and a devoted and faithful husband.  How often do we women keep picking at our men because of minor annoyances?  It's like being pecked to death by a chicken!

You've made an impact on my life, my marriage and my children.

Jennifer
