You're selfish. Face it; that is the hard reality. Are we not programmed to take care of ourselves first. Think of every single problem that arises in this world. It stems from a belief in selfishness. Whether its forcing some people to believe the way someone else believes, taking things from someone who you think doesn't deserve it, or just saying things that hurt someone else's feelings. All of those problems come from the root of selfishness. We cannot change this thought process in the world over night; but if each one of us really reflected on what is important in our lives and changed the way we react and the things we expect; real change could be made. One person at a time.
We are all selfish. This is where all of our headaches come to us from; especially in relationships. The reason people fight or end their marriages are always some from of selfishness. Think about it. Can't we just have faith that it is your spouses job to fulfill your needs and your job to fulfill theirs. Leave it at that and stop trying to have it all. Be more patient and think about other people in this world. Especially when those people are your family.
If we were all more patient and took time to appreciate things for what they are we would live in a better world. We need to kill our selfishness and help others who necessitate it, encourage those who need encouraging, love those who need to be loved, and always know that your needs will get met. Always, if you are reading this you most likely are not starving or homeless, so you are better off then 90% of the world anyway.
Treat everyday as a gift. Be more patient. Take care of others like you would take care yourself.

Top Five reasons I love my wife...
There are alot of relationships out there that need a little more of this. This blogpost is from my heart, it is true. I believe we would be better off as a society if people treated eachother better. That starts with how you treat your spouse. This is intended to help others think about what they love the most about their spouse, and to maybe remind them if they have forgotten. I am not trying to boast here, my only intentions are to help those who need some encouragement.
5. Motherhood - My wife is an excellent mother and I give her so much credit for making my house a home. The way she is with our two sons is amazing. She is patient, loving, and wise. This is one of the reasons I wanted to marry her in the first place. She knows how to deal with the children without bias and I appreciate her for all she does for our children.
4. Supportive - People who know me personally know that I am an adventurer through and through and tend to dive into projects rather spontaneously. I know this can cause alot of stress on a spouse who may not be patient enough or brave enough to see it through but my wife is behind me every step of the way. Not there to nag me when my crazy idea didn't work but to tell me how she knows that if this idea didn't work then we are one step closer to success with the next one. She told me shoe will follow me anywhere and I can smile because of that.
3. Her Spirit - The way she carries herself. She acts like a lady out in public very reserved except with those she is closest to. This is probably one of the things that makes her so attractive. She is exceedingly beautiful but there are so many more reasons to love her than aesthetics alone. The fact that she just has a kind way about her and a peaceful presence is a great thing to have in your life and your home. I am grateful she is this way.
2. Positive - Like me, she also is very positive. This was a requirement in marrying me. Just kidding. She always looks at things and how we can make them better instead of letting the worst of the worst get us down. Everyone goes through their tough times but with her attitude they do not seem so bad.
1. Patient - Anyone can care for another person but the true testament of their love is what they do when the other person hurts them or lets them down. She is one of the most patient women I have ever met. She has always been there, maybe not happy, but never willing to give up on our relationship. The communication that we have developed has only gotten better over the years and it helps us support eachother everyday. With her patience everyday is sweeter.
I love my wife and am very grateful for all she does for me and my family.
