Beginnings of selflessness

To become selfless is tough.  It is something that can not be done in my own strength or power.  For myself, I think about the little things I do and how it affects my relationship with my wife.  Yesterday, my simple reaction to an incident where my wife was indecisive got me a little frustrated and she sensed it and then she reacted maniacally.  I didn't realize my simple reaction could hurt her that much and make her react so much.  Actually, I do, but this was a part of my character where God has blessed and molded me more into his image.  But I messed up profusely, and I immediately repented. One of the scriptures on my heart:

New International Version Prov. 12:16
Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.

I look at Jesus and through all the piqued times, he did not retaliate but was blameless through it all.  I don't want to
