The?husband?agreed，?so?each?of?them?went?to?a?separate?room?in?the?house?and?thought?of?the?things?that?annoyed?them?about?the?other.

They?thought?about?these?things?all?day?long?and?wrote?down?what?they?came?up?with.

The?next?morning，?they?went?over?their?lists.

＂I，ll?start，＂?offered?the?wife.?She?took?out?her?list.?It?had?many?items?on?it，?in?fact，?enough?to?fill?3?pages.

As?she?started?reading?the?list?to?her?husband，?she?noticed?that?tears?were?starting?to?appear?in?her?husband，s?eyes.

＂What，s?wrong?＂?she?asked.

＂Nothing，?keep?reading?your?list.＂?He?replied.?The?wife?continued?reading?until?she?had?read?all?three?pages.

She?neatly?placed?her?list?on?the?table?and?folded?her?hands?on?top?of?it.

＂Now，you?read?your?list?and?then?we?can?talk?about?everything?on?our?lists.＂?She?said?happily.

The?wife，?touched?by?his?honesty，?the?depth?of?his?love?for?her?and?his?acceptance?of?her，turned?her?head?and?wept.

In?life，?we?don，t?really?have?to?look?for?things?that?are?disappointing，?depressing?and?annoying.?These?things?will?always?be?there.

Nothing?is?perfect.?However，?we?can?find?perfectness?in?everything?by?changing?the?way?we?see?things.
