Marriages That Last

After Rick and I had such a great weekend celebrating our anniversary, this morning... we almost got into an argument. It was over something very trivial. I'm so glad we're getting to the point in our marriage where we know when it's worth the spat or not. We bth looked at each other and realized we didn't want to argue. We chose not to. We've done this before but for the most part we're just like any couple and we've had a few arguments during our marriage.

Whether it's over money, kids, or whatever. Selfishness on the part of one or the other or both is usually the cause of our arguments, just like it is for most people. You know how it is. It's "my way or no way!" Fortunately, Rick and I have matured over the years and have realized arguing is truly a waste of time and it doesn't really get you anywhere. We all have to hear each other out, compromise, and get on with life. So my advice to you is... pick your battles. Better yet, don't have the battle in the first place!
