What I like about you is

It is safe to say most people come into relationship with another person because of the things they like about the other person. To become close to someone because you don't like them defies logic, yet how many relationships dissolve into fault finding campaigns?

I constantly hear couples who find fault with their partner:
“He is so sloppy.” 
“She doesn’t know how to cook.”
“He doesn't know how to dress.”
“She is just an angry person.”

I call this majoring in the minors. We find the faults in our partners, spend an exorbitant amount of time complaining about those faults, provide a very negative atmosphere regarding our partners faults and then wonder why our partner doesn't like to spend time with us.

In relationships, go back to the reasons you first wanted to be with your partner; think about all the things you liked about them, then begin to emphasize these characteristics instead of complaining about what you don’t like. If we change the energy in a relationship away from negative to positive, we will change the relationship also. Treat your partner like you really do care for them instead of trying to change them, you both will be happier.
