Simple premise: What would someone who marries you have to give up? I don't mean things that are blatantly unchristian - something innocuous, something absolutely normal, something nobody would think would get on your nerves until you told them.
My aunt Diane has a texture problem with peaches. The fuzz makes her cringe, to the point she can't even stand knowing someone near her is eating a peach. Her poor husband was once indulging in a peach outside, BEHIND HIS TRUCK, and she happened to walk around the corner... "Good grief Diane, I'm eating it outside!" Poor guy tried but he just can't have his peach and spare her too.
On a more serious note, anybody married to someone with a peanut allergy has to give up (gasp!) peanut butter! One lady broke up with her boyfriend (amicably) and a few months later she happened to see him and said, "So what's it like being able to eat peanut butter again?" He replied, "Oh man, we should have broke up long ago!"
On the flip side, what about you would likely get on someone's nerves? Would you give it up? COULD you give it up?
I know for me it would probably be humming. I like music and I'm usually humming or singing to myself. It's almost never loud and obtrusive, but almost always quietly there in the background. I know for a fact that it gets on some people's nerves, and I know for a fact that I can't stop it. Even when I have a cold and my own faulty voice annoys me, I still hum to myself.
So what is it for you? What would someone have to give up to marry you? What might you have to give up that you know annoys some people?
