Remember and Forget

Any long-term relationship is going to have some problems.  I do find it interesting that it’s almost easier to remember the other person’s faults than the good they have said or done.  It’s even hard to remember what the other person likes and/or wants.  It’s even hard to remember what the other person is doing for scheduling sakes. But again it seems easier for us to remember their failings.

This type of remembering really defines that person in your head as being nothing more than that failure.  This type of thinking isn’t healthy for any relationship to succeed. What would happen if you begin to remember the good of the person or the things they like and/or want so you can do something for them out of the kindness of your heart?  What would happen if you forget about the failures and the things that make your life not the way you want them? Maybe you’ll no longer be defined as the person who holds grudges or always think that the other person is out to get you? And I bet you’ll find more success in this type of relationship thinking.
