Enhancing Relationships (2)

NOT OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much.
People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character." 江山易改，本性难移。It is not easy to change. Thus, having an unrealistic expectation on changing your spouse's character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

If you really love someone will you accept them for who they are?
