Another really complicated way to say something pretty simple...
Here's what it means.
If we are going to get along, you have to see me the way I see myself and I have to see you the way you see yourself.
So... If I think I'm a good husband and you think I'm a good husband we will get along great. But, if I think I'm a good husband and you think I'm a really bad husband, we aren't going to get along very well.
If we are out of synch, there are two ways of making this better.

1. I can change the way I see myself so that I match how you see me.

Many arguments revolve around this question. Listen carefully to how you argue. How many of your fights are all about how you see yourselves and each other?
