How Can Everything Change So Dramatically?
By Mort Fertel, Author & Founder of Marriage Fitness
Marriage often begins with the excitement of discovering each other's personalities, but over time, we come to realize that we must live with each other's character. Peter Devries captured this reality perfectly:
"The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but we must live with a character."
Understanding the difference between personality and character is crucial for a successful marriage. Personality is the façade we present to the world?"how others perceive us. Character, on the other hand, is who we truly are when no one's watching.
When you first meet your spouse, you encounter each other's personalities. It’s not deception; it’s just natural to show our public selves. Over time, though, the close quarters of marriage reveal our true selves. Eventually, you both stand exposed, seeing each other's true character for the first time.
This is the moment of rediscovery, and often, it’s also when you encounter your own character. Many people find themselves behaving in ways they wouldn't dream of with anyone else. Phrases like "I’m just not myself with them" might come to mind. But, in reality, what you are seeing is your own character?"and your spouse shows you theirs.
The real challenge in marriage isn't disliking your partner; it’s often disliking the reflection of your own character. While others may mirror only your personality, your spouse exposes your deeper self. This can be unsettling, leading some to prefer leaving a marriage rather than confronting this internal mirror.
Balthasar Gracian, in "The Art of Worldly Wisdom," wisely noted: "You are as much a real person as you are deep." Just like a diamond, what's inside matters as much, if not more, than the surface. People who are all façade may look grand but lack depth within.
For meaningful marriage renewal, consider developing your own character alongside your relationship. Improvement in one often leads to improvement in the other.
