Marriage Buffet

If marriage was a buffet, people would pick & choose what they want in a person. They would take the good & leave the bad.

If marriage was a buffet, people would pick & choose what they want in a person. They would take the good & leave the bad. Think about it, when someone's looking for a mate, they have a laundry list of what attributes they desire in a (wo)man. (S)he must have this, that and the third. In short, (s)he must be perfect, but expect their mate to overlook their imperfections. Crazy isn't it? If marriage was a buffet, most people would take the good and forget the bad. They would take someone who's loving, driven, attractive, God-fearing, etc. and would leave the flaws at the buffet line because to them, the flaws would make the meal taste bad. There's nothing wrong with wanting the perfect person UNLESS you're perfect yourself. The way I'm set up, my patience is 0 for foolishness. 

If I think an issue is going to be a problem, I let it be known. The other person has a small window to fix the problem or she takes flight. In a perfect world, marriage would be a buffet: You get the person's good instead of their bad. Couples NEVER have arguments, they're always on the same page and because there would be no dissension in marriage, divorce attorneys would be unemployed because they would have no clientele. Because this world is fallen, unfortunately people have to take the bad with the good. Some people can love the good & bad of their spouse, some people can't. For those who won't love the bad parts of their spouse, that's their right. Everyone has the right to have the marriage they desire, provided they're the person they desire.
