How unity works

Marriage is so hard because it is,hard to unify people who are so different. I want to share a story that normally would go undocumented due to it's apparent insignificance.

It was this morning and our little family set off to get a video. I wanted Bambi, and actually got it, but that is beside the point. I suggested we find a movie and asked my husband to look for Bambi. He found two. I picked one and told Joseph to take the other  one because it was torn. Then Nick told him not to because that one was thrashed as he put it. It offended me and it hurt to have my orders repealed because his were better, so I pointed out that it was just the cover and the tape was just fine. I had to examine closer to even see what was supposed to be thrashed. It was then that I got the lesson.

I would have gotten the thrashed one because my standards for measure were different and I would have not noticed until I got home That the exterior damage was,far worse, than I had imagined it even could be, and that made me think about how fortunate I was once I got done being mad. That is how marriage is or any different people trying to achieve unity. It will,be difficult, but very fortunate.
