My wife has a quirk. She loves a cup of tea in the morning. That's not the quirk, however. It's in how she prepares to make the tea that is the quirk. The process is this:
- fill the tea kettle, put it on the stove, and turn the burner on high
- run the hot water from the faucet until it is as hot as it will get (takes a few minutes)
- fill the tea cup with the hot water from the spigot
- place the full cup of hot water into the microwave and turn it on for two minutes
- meanwhile, the tea kettle has started to whistle and is left on
- when the microwave stops, the cup is removed, the hot water which was already hot to begin with is dumped into the sink
- tea bag is then dropped into the hot cup and hot boiling water is dumped into the cup
- cup with tea bag is then left on the counter to cool down so it is drinkable
What do you do about the quirks in your relationships as a man, husband, and father?
- do you first look at your own quirks and consider how annoying they may be to others?
- do you judge the other person by their quirks instead of who they really are? Are you letting their quirks define who they really are?
- would you want others to define you by your quirks?
- what is more important...the quirks (no matter how weird or irrational) or the relationship?
And, yes, I've got some rather annoying quirks myself !
