My weakness is her strength

In marriage, there are things that you both have the opportunity to learn early on in that getting to know each other better phase. You see for me, I thought I knew myself pretty well, and then after meeting and dating My wife for two years, I thought I knew her pretty well also. Well sometimes, once in a while something comes to light, that you were not quite expecting. I knew that my wife was much better then I was at reading instructions. In fact when anything is bought that needs to be assembled it required both of us to put it together. Me, well I do the manual work, and she is there simple to read the instructions to me. This is truly where my main "ADD" symptom comes out. I cannot for the life of me read instructions. It just does not work. My instinct is to start putting whatever it is together and hope that it all works out. That needless to say drives her up the wall crazy. So shortly after our marriage this was something that had to be discovered. I never knew to what extent this little dynamic of our relationship played a part. Well, not until tonight. My wife bested me at something that wives are not supposed to best their husbands at. But she did, and my pride was a bit hurt.


Zack Received a Lego set for his birthday as was very excited to get into it. His mother with great patience helped him build this great truck. She actually sat there and read the instructions, one at a time, helping him put it together, not doing it for him out of frustration, but actually helping, as HE put it together. Bit by bit, instruction by instruction they got it done, and it looked great. I could have never, in this life got that done. I would have ended up with something completely different, only sharing the same parts and colors. That is what I learned today, that my weakness in this case is by far her strength, and I love her for it.
