Can My Spouse Cause Me to be Unloving and Disrespectful?

In relationships, it's common for people to blame their spouse for their negative reactions and behavior. However, according to Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, this is not entirely true. He believes that our response to our spouse is our responsibility, and our spouse reveals our true character rather than causing it. Even though our spouse may be an irritant in our lives, it is up to us to control our reactions and choose our behavior. It may be a difficult truth to accept, but it's important to take responsibility for our own actions in a relationship.
