A patient of mine told me that one and she is probably right. Just don’t take the bad feelings to bed with you and all will be well. A patient of mine told me that one and she is probably right.

Thankfully, we've found some magical way of learning to laugh about our disagreements rather than yell about them. I don't know what it is, or how it happened... but it's nice. Nowadays, the only real fighting is about who was suppose to turn the coffee pot off, and who actually had to go back and do it.

Beth,

Your husband is just going to have to understand that you need a new gun once in a while.

This has worked for many years and keeps both of us happy.... oh yes, pre-marital bliss--- life is way too short..and you can't go back and do it over again....unfortunately.

Which can be interpreted as he told me at some point in time that he was going to do whatever and I may or may not have responded. It doesn't really matter HOW I responded. In his mind, we discussed it and therefore I should be okay with it. That's not working as well for him as it used to work. Lemuel - he’ll say ‘we talked about this, remember’.

We are both high-tempered, so its' been a roller coaster. BUT, you have a good point. I think it is the 'this is the person I love and am spending the rest of my life with, and arguing with them is, well, stupid.' thing. You do realize at some point that the relationship is too important to be a jerk about something that really doesn't matter that much in the big scheme of things. And we both know that neither of us are leaving, so we might as well get along and enjoy ourselves. Life's just too short to be miserable! lol Lemuel - the DADBLAMED purchase of yet another gun! lol

Gibbs Sat, 29 Jul 2006 19:17:02 +0000 http://military.rightpundits.com/2006/07/29/fighting-and-marital-bliss/#comment-20003 My wife and I have been married for 22 years in about three weeks. We finally "got it" after 20 years, and haven't had a "fight" since. We disagree every once in a while, but the only thing that lasts longer than five minutes (but less than 10) is when we discuss our prodigal son (21 year old still acting juvenile). After so long you just realize that hey, this is the person I love and am spending the rest of my life with, and arguing with them is, well, stupid. Being different (opposites do attract) is not a bad thing, but a strength, after all. Her weaknesses are my strengths, and visa versa, so why not capitalize on it?
