I am taking a marriage class this semester and it has been really informational and beneficial for me. The most recent topic of discussion is embracing your partners weirdness. I thought I was embracing everything about my boyfriend but the truth is I haven't. The weirdness my professor talks about is something that only your significant other does, something that may be annoying to you but really it makes them who they are. The example he gave during class was saying maybe you have someone who every time they eat they get something on their shirt. You can expect this from your partner, it may be annoying but this is what your partner does. Instead of finding this annoying, embrace it.

I used to find it annoying that my boyfriend always wants to work and have money and be financially stable. I on the other hand like to save some money and spend it on adventures and exploring the world. Instead of getting annoyed with him, I now embrace it. He teaches me that it's okay to be grounded, to make sure there is a safety net incase something happens. I'm embracing his weirdness.

Fully embracing someone's weirdness allows them to fully be themselves. We can't change anyone and we shouldn't want to change our partner because everything they do is what makes us attracted to them. The things that you once thought were funny about them that they did; we shouldn't lose that.

Love can sometimes be a tricky thing to understand, it's hard at times and we shouldn't make it harder by getting annoyed with our significant other, we should laugh about all the quirky things that make them who they are and embrace it.
