My grandson,
Marriage is the most difficult challenge for both spouses. Everything differs them: homes, upbringing, customs, cuisine, the rhythm of the day and approaches to life. Books they have read and books they like best, ways of talking, sitting, sleeping and praying. People do everything differently, they wash themselves differently, get annoyed differently, their dreams and goals are different. People get married to a complete stranger, even if they have known each other for a long time. They differ in almost everything. And, to top it all, they are different sex... We, women, will always want to change you, men. And you will always be disgruntled with this.
