"A wife, if she is very generous, may allow that her husband lives up to perhaps 80% of her expectations. There is always the other 20% that she would like to change, and she may chip away at it for the whole of their married life without reducing it by very much. She may, on the other hand, simply decide to enjoy the 80%, and both of them will be happy." -Elisabeth Elliot (Love Has a Price Tag)
"A wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain."
-Proverbs 19:13b
"It is better to live in a corner of the housetop, than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife."
-Proverbs 21:9
Wow, wish I had known this years ago. I have learned this life lesson the hard way.
