I’m so sick of lemonade
All this squeeze ain’t worth the juice
Pour some sugar over me
Still not sweet еnough for you
Got a lot of shit to say
Even more you nevеr do
Tell me, what’s it gonna take
To make a good thing out of you?
—Lemonade, Maren Morris
I once heard of a delusional male speaking of the woman he was dating. “She’s all about her kids right now. But once we get married, she’ll be all about me.”
I snorted my coffee when my daughter told me about her friend. She’s not going to change.
How many times have you witnessed relationships where one partner thought they could change the other to fit their mold?
How many times did that work?
Perhaps that’s a reason why the apostle Paul wrote so often about mutual submission. We each must make allowances for the other. It’s a function of the love that Jesus taught.
If one can’t live with the other’s “faults,” then it is best recognized early, and they should part.
You cannot force someone else into your mold.
This realization holds for romantic/life partnerships, business partnerships, people you’re negotiating with, people within your organization.
