The 80/20 Rule?

Never heard of it? The 80/20 rule is when someone is in a relationship and they see only the flaws in the person, so they start looking for what they’re “lacking” in someone else. It could be anything frivolous: too short, doesn’t laugh at your jokes, etc. You find the little things that were missing in your spouse but you realize that they are missing everything else: the 80%. We have to realize, no one is perfect; not even you. We have to real with ourselves, no one is perfect; so why would we wan something we’re not. Let’s be realistic: everyone has flaws; its better to love them unconditionally than try to change them and make them someone God has not intended them to be. We’re fearfully and wonderfully made. Let’s not forget that.
