The DIY List - 50 promises: Accept your differences

This is going to be the hardest thing to add to your list - accepting differences.  I went to a wedding a couple of days ago and one of the things the officiant reminded the couple, as well as the audience was that it was necessary to accept the differences your spouse and you have,  It is important to be clear - we aren't talking about a difference of opinion; we're talking about personality differences.  You can quickly decide that its your way or the high way and believe me when I say that you have much to learn if you take that approach.  Learning to accept the other person's quirks and such takes time and that's a two way street.  You cannot expect your beloved to accept your quirks without accepting theirs - it doesn't work and its not fair.  Accepting differences is one of the ABCs of Life and when you decide that you have to do this, everything else becomes clearer.  This is also important when planning your wedding - accepting that not every choice you make is going to be one that your fiancee is going to love as much as you do is key.  Come to a happy medium when it comes to wedding plans, even if you think the other person is crazy! Add this not only to your DIY list but your life list - it will make a lasting impression.
