Assume the Best in Your Spouse

My wife and I once took an opportunity to attend a marriage conference. I always thought marriage conferences were for rocky relationships, but they aren’t. They are great experiences that will deepen even the healthiest of marriages.
While we were at this conference, one speaker said something that I have continually forgotten and been reminded of: Compare your assumptions to your knowledge. I have reworded and applied it in my marriage as “Make the best assumptions of your spouse.”
We have a tendency to see the worst in people. Whenever someone cuts me off in traffic, I immediately assume he is the worst driver in the world and is, in fact, a terrible person. He has no redeemable qualities and should not only leave the road I am driving on but also leave the country.
