your partner irritating you is actually a gift. here's why.

the irritating word. the habit you've seen a hundred times. the thing they do that just gets you. that moment right before you react is one of the rarest opportunities you'll ever get because the irritation is a thought. and thoughts aren't permanent. the incident is already gone. you're the one keeping it alive.

most people never get to practice this. marriage gives you dozens of chances every day.
