I love you even though your socks smell

Relationship is one of the things we're put on earth to do (and I'm not really talking marriage here), and as we get closer in to each others lives it can get tricky, even painful, as you go through a process of discovering the less appealing parts of each others personalities. We've all got smelly socks (or something like that) which we do our best to hide, but as you let people in to your life, sometimes the smelly things have to be talked about.

You've probably heard the stories of the man who's wife divorced him because he left the lid off the toothpaste all the time. Sometimes it can feel like the lid is the biggest problem in the world, but when you step back a little you'll see it's really trivial. There's a good song that I'll not name, but it has one line in it that I detest strongly, and although I detest it, it's true, and it says that the enemy wants to make mountains out of mole hills in your life.

Personally I'm seeing a few things in my own situation that have somehow been blown way out of proportion, and I'm feeling good now I realise I can just stand on them and move on to a place of blessing. Also, I'll do better at keeping a lid on things.
