On the day Winston Churchill became Prime Minister, his wife Clementine held a small family drink & in her toast, she said she almost didn't accept his marriage proposal because she knew she would always come second as Public Service was his first love but she made peace with it.

Just wondering how many marriages have packed up because we clearly know the passion of our spouse but seek to suppress it or redirect it towards us or other causes. Husbands insisting career driven wives resign & stay at home. Wives threatening to leave if husband pursues dream.

Oh what peace we often forfeit when we deliberately choose to stand in the way of the clearly expressed passions of our spouses for our own selfish angrandisement and ego trip.

And no, these things do not creep up suddenly. They are always in full display. In the courtship stage, you know what drives your intended. We are often mistaken in assuming that after marriage, we will change our spouses. Recipe for general unhappiness and chaos.

So as you speak English with your intended, an important question to answer is 'can I deal with this?'

Wishing you all a great week ahead.
