It is said that..
When a man who is married for many years sees his wife, he sees the woman he first fell in love with - exactly as she was back then.
When a woman first sees a man and starts to like him, she sees the man she thinks he can become.
So, a man always loves the woman he first met and fell in love with. A woman falls in love with the man she thinks he can eventually become. And, after they are together for a long time, he still loves the woman he first saw and liked; she loves the man she still thinks he can become.
Seems wrong? Maybe, but that's the strength in each of them.
Men have an acceptance mentality - they accept their women as they are and love them.
Women have a growth mentality - they love the potential in the man they accept.
What's the relevance of growth without acceptance of what is. What's the value of acceptance if there can be no growth.
That's why they say...
A man loves a woman thinking she will never change and she does.
A woman loves a man thinking he will change and he never does.
Such is love and life.
