We've been there, if you are married and breathing you've been there. Anytime you are dealing with anyone else and their own individual opinions some one is bound to get upset, especially when both parties are pretty are set. Arguing, hot tempered conversations, quarreling... Whatever you call it, most people don't like to talk about it. From my experience, having a argument (or heated discussion) is a perfectly normal occurrence in any marriage. There are a few rules though that must be followed if there is to be growth afterwards. 1. Be respectful 2. Keep your tone in check 3. Pray and ask God for guidance When talking to your spouse about a topic that can be pretty heated it is quite easy for a "shady" comment to slip out. Be respectful, be kind and be loving, even when it's hard to! Don't return shade with shade, that's a good way to stifle the conversation and miss out on the opportunity to connect with your spouse.

Tho we can't change anything in our past, but if you knew now when you knew years ago, I am sure most if not all of you would say that ...
Just an encouraging word for someone out there today... I realize that there are many people out there that are hurt and frustrated, just like I used to be. I realize this, that life sometimes, just isn't fair. Things happen that you just can't control and why you right? I've heard it all before and will probably someday right a book about it, but until YOU decide to move on, that is exactly where you will stay. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it. So decide to stay right there where you are, or get over yourself and everyone else, and MOVE! The thing about moving, the hardest part in moving is the act itself, but many hands make for lite work. Go call your friends and family, the reliable ones, that you know don't mind helping you out! You know who that is too! Where you decide to stay emotionally is completely up to you. You must make a choice on who you are going to be, if you can't make a choice or your ego is too big to get over, t...
