Do the little things matter?

It's become a cliche to think that the "little things" matter. And maybe they do, to some people. I'm not sure they matter all the time. Ask yourself this-would you rather your husband stay faithful to you  and not answer all your texts within five minutes or sleep with his co-workers and buy you flowers and candy every month? That might be an extreme example, but it raises a good point.

No job, no new car, no other person will ever be able to meet all your needs, much less your wants. Being an adult means realizing and accepting that. I've personally seen people whose lives are drama filled and a disaster because they foolishly expect a new marriage or moving cross country will solve all their problems and fulfill their lives in every single way. Maybe it's because they focus on the "little things" instead of looking at the big picture in life. Sure, looking at the "big picture"is also somewhat a cliche in life but there might be some truth to that one.
