In marriage one of the principal ways in which you grown holy is through the defects of your spouse, one time a Nun wrote to Saint John of the Cross. “I could become a very holy nun if it wasn't for the rest of the nuns in the convent” The same thing actually applies in the context of marriage, I'm sure many people think “I could be much holier if it wasn't for my spouse or children or circumstances whatever”. St. John of the Cross gives the perfect answer he writes back, he says

“It's quite the contrary it's the defects of the other nuns which become the moments of your growing in virtue and holiness through suffering”
