Many times I have tried to strongarm decisions over things which were either only nominally important or of which I may have had no real interest in the first place. I suppose what dogs me most is when my opinion is solicited and then my spouse seems to choose whatever is the diametric opposite. Is she doing it to spite me? Probably not, but I would just as soon she stop asking if she isn't going to really entertain it.<br /><br />Other times I have tried to explain a scenario (or series of scenarios) which would follow your flowchart above, but never anywhere near as eloquently or convincingly. I have forwarded this to my wife in the hopes we can reconcile so many years of argumentative behaviours and start anew, perhaps with the first and most important adage above - we are on the same team.ConfederateSonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550884594769438455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576985008275511255.post-79279440601615851182012-10-09T08:18:31.526-04:002012-10-09T08:18:31.526-04:00Excellent tips!!!

Through various circumstances and trials, we really came to see that the #1 thing we need to keep from arguing in our marriage is walking in the Spirit. And sometimes we had to table a discussion that was not being productive and say, "let's come back to this next week and pray about it in the meantime." We'd mark on our calendars to revisit the discussion on the date specified and, sure enough, we were both emotionally and spiritually prepared to discuss in the Spirit. <br /><br />Coming from Thought Provoking Thursday.Kate @ Teaching What Is Goodhttp://teachingwhatisgood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576985008275511255.post-51013525085930986842012-05-31T12:40:56.113-04:002012-05-31T12:40:56.113-04:00These are great tips! and vital to any healthy mar...These are great tips! and vital to any healthy marriage.

I think I had a little bit to do about how you turned out but I have to scratch my head and wonder where most of your good sense came from other than that which your retained from your mother. Wish someone had shared these thoughts with me a long time. I guess it is never to late to learn wisdom even from your kids.
