Living with your sweetie will eventually uncover some behaviors that annoy.

I used to chew ice (not good for my teeth or my husband’s sanity), so I made a point of breaking the habit.

Some behaviors aren’t necessarily annoying, but if you do them too much they can get on your spouse’s nerves. My sweetie loves music, but there are times when he will ask me if I’m OK with it. He knows that 24 hours of music will drive me nuts. If I need a bit of quiet, out comes the headphones.

I think that is my point. Be aware of each other’s sensitivities. If you are annoying your spouse, break the habit (if it’s bad for you) or find a workaround.

If you snore, buy a snore guard. If you chew your nails, get a manicure and learn to love your nails. If one of you is a night owl and the other is a morning lark, try different strategies until you find one that accommodates you both.

What things do you and/or your husband do that cause annoyance or discomfort?
What can you do to stop or reduce the problem?

Remind them to … show perfect courtesy toward all people. TItus 3:2b ESV
