Different people value different things and a lot of that definitely comes from how you were raised. I'm sure there are lots of things you admire about him, even if his work ethic is a bit annoying at times.

Lol, you know me, I'm forever an optimist...

And yes, he has terrific taste when it comes to choosing a wife! If nothing else, he's got that going for him, right? Also, from what you've said, he seems like a really great dad!

There you go...you're 100% right Janet. His taste is impeccable.

I don't think you actually "train" a spouse, but I do think that we teach people how to love us and how to treat us. I think that's really what we mean when we say "train our husbands."

One thing for sure, we can't change a person's basic nature. It's a waste of time and energy.
