Don’t Argue the Little Stuff

As I was loading the dish washer the other day.. my husband there with me, kinda helping, kinda overseeing, I just had to laugh and think. I wasn’t doing it quite the way he thought it should be done. And granted, I’m not the best dishwasher loader in the world. I stack stuff together too much and sometimes it doesn’t get as clean as maybe it could.
But he was getting a little upset and I had to stand back and think that getting upset about the dishwasher being loaded is a little pointless. So I joked with him about it… and I think this is one of the reasons we get along so well. Both of us hate confrontation, we hate to fight, and we don’t like feeling angry. And so we usually let the little stuff, like how we load the dishwasher, just blow on by and we don’t worry about it.
When I’m out and about with friends and their spouses, I am sometimes surprised at the things they fight about. Really… maybe it’s time to just stop, look at what you are fighting about, let go of your ego and your desire to be ‘right’ or to get in the last word, laugh about it, appreciate your significant other, and be happy.
I heard, once, someone say.. what do you want to be, right, or married? Well, I’d rather be happy and so what if the dish washer isn’t loaded just so… or there is dog pee on the floor, or Tatum wants to ‘help’ prep the spare bedroom for painting and in doing so likes to chew up the sand paper? (Dang her toenails are too long.) I’d rather not worry about it. I want my dogs, my husband, and myself, to be happy. So as they say, don’t worry, be happy!
On this day..

It’s quite natural for couples to disagree sometimes or even most of the time. However, it doesn’t need to be something which they will hate about each other and thus result in hating the other. Stuff happening like this only means that they feel they are the boss or something. This isn’t what relationships are about. Married life is about sharing and helping each other to achieve a common goal. No matter how much disagreements they are as long as both partners understand and know that their love for each other is not based on trying to satisfy their personal desires and thus turn out just being selfish, but that their love is to be the end in itself meaning unconditional. This is true love and will result in harmony and peace in their home.
