Just as the power of life and death is in the tongue, temperament is likewise a combination of strengths and weaknesses. Meaning that your spouse is not only full of weaknesses or only strengths, but he or she is made of both.
Having a balanced view of your spouse is highly essential to sustaining romance in your marital relationship, as relating to your spouse’s strengths alone makes you have unrealistic expectations of him or her, while addressing just his or her weaknesses makes you a critic. He or she is not a super being; he or she has strengths as well as weaknesses. However, your ability to relate to both shows your maturity.
