Reason #2: We are taking him for granted

Let’s be honest. We speak carefully (honey, not vinegar) with the colleague and the step-sister because we’re aware of the need to. We usually speak sweetly to our friends because we know friends are not guaranteed and we want them to continue to like being around us. So at home, one of the main reasons we get our vinegar on is that we’re taking our man for granted! We just put it all out there because we’re married and it is permanent… so we feel like we don’t need to think about it.

And of course, being a life commitment, marriage is permanent – but we want it to be fun, too! We need to be just as aware and intentional with our man as with others. We want our man to enjoy being around us, in the same way we want our friends to enjoy being around us.
