"My wife's behaviour just doesn't make sense," Ken remarked.
When we do not understand and respect another's behaviour, but are willing to go along with it,then we are tolerating the other - so says the dictionary. But that is not the same with acceptance.
Often it is easier to be more accepting of friends than to accept our partners.
In fact, I think the real problem here is that we do not have a full awareness of all the important reasons the partner has for behaving or feeling as we do. Only when we explore them can we respectfully understand them and only then will we come to true acceptance.
