Your spouse, or your child, or, hey, even yourself

Quote
At those times when your spouse isn't quite measuring up to your expectations, remember that he or she was created in God's image—not your image. The late Trappist monk Thomas Merton reminds us that "the beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

Just what I needed to hear! It's funny how one forgets this so easily.
