Giving Up Changing Your Spouse into an Exact Copy of You

Description

Trying to change your spouse into a copy of you is one of the most frequent and unconscious mistakes in the marital relationship. Mature acceptance renounces the fantasy of the ideal spouse to focus on the beauty of the real partner.
