Husband disliking something in his wife (and vice versa?)

"... no husband must detest his wife continuously - because, if he does not like any thing [i.e. something] in her then surely there is something in her that he likes..."

"... When a wife does something with which the husband is displeased, he must not let his displeasure take firm root in him and criticise her for her faults. Rather, he must look at her good points too. If he does that, his anger will subside."

Nice little book. More comprehensive in its coverage than merely problems/conflicts that may arise between husband and wife.
