Q&A › Character & conduct between spouses

🤍 Character & conduct between spouses · #250

I often compare my spouse's looks and character with people on social media. How do I stop?

Social media is a filtered display, not real life, so comparing your spouse with it is unfair. People only show their best moments and hide their weaknesses and quarrels. Spend less time following accounts that trigger dissatisfaction. Each time you catch yourself comparing, recall your spouse's real good qualities that the people on the screen do not have. Value the person who lives with you, not an image you have never known. A grateful heart sees more beauty. See the family & the digital world.
