Making the Same Mistakes Over and Over

Why can I not get this right?  My wife asks me to do something and I forget, even if it is written down at the top of the list.  She gets mad at me and I deserve it.  I always seem to forget something.  I know I did a lot yesterday, but there is always that one thing and it is somewhat important.  I ask again, why can I get this right?

Here is another thing I do, when my wife and I are pressed for time, I still try to straighten up and organize the house in some way.  How have I not driven her crazy is beyond me.  If I were her and she acted like me, I would probably sent her to a special home for the clinically insane.  I am hard to live with and when I get focused on one thing, I tend to forget the rest.

She must love me, if she did not, she would have locked me away and thrown the key.  I am trying everyday to get this right.  I still make the same mistakes, but not as often, at least in my opinion, probably not my wife's.  I know I will go home today and apologize to her and she will say, "You are always sorry."  I will reply, "What else can I do?"  Well, I could not make those mistakes again and again.

Well here is a book on marriage that couples might find interesting.
