I heard a saying the other day that went something like this: The only man you can change is the one wearing a diaper.
It’s not uncommon at all to look at the object of your love, whether it’s parental, spousal, or other kinds of love, and see unreached potential in that person.
It is easy for us to find the faults with our loved ones because we are around them all the time. Advice columns are full of letters where a desperate wife is seeking advice on how to “change” her husband so he will eat all his vegetables, exercise more, smoke less, drink more water and less soda…whatever the case may be.
Just the other day I got an email from a woman who wrote in asking if a man who is overweight, drinks too much alcohol, isn’t physically active, has a heart condition and is in general poor health can be helped by natural remedies. The short answer is yes. There is a rather large “however” attached, though.
