One of the big temptations when you are married is to argue with one
another. It's kind of like two children without a brain, and generally
it's about silly things!
Why does this occur? It's because you
are used to making all of your decisions by yourself, and now you have
to consider someone else's wishes. It's no wonder conflicts arise, as
now you need to be in agreement with one another.
Do everything
to avoid the arguments, as they will drive a wedge between you and your
spouse. The more these conflicts arise, the more distant you will
become. It's really not worth your time to argue!
My first
conflict with my wife was over who would answer the phone. We both
disliked answering this silly device, and this led us to an argument.
Silly, don't you think? I don't even remember how we resolved this! Oh
no! My Alzheimer's is acting up again!
The best way to approach
such conflicts is to be thoroughly honest: "Honey, for some reason I
have some kind of phobia about answering the phone. I have no idea why
this happens. What should I do?"
It's only then that conflicts
can be avoided and solutions can be brought forth with pure love. That's
how relationships blossom.
"Honey, I have a problem. Every time I
drive I have an urge to hit pedestrians!"
You better know about
this before your wedding day!
