Maybe that is what some people are talking about when they say all married couples fight.<br /><br />Now, the girl at work is talking about screaming at each other, slamming doors, throwing things, etc. (Yes, she included all the above in her definition of fighting.)Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-35290897438331765672010-07-25T14:22:40.673-05:002010-07-25T14:22:40.673-05:00Last night, Shane kept poking me on a bruise I hav...Last night, Shane kept poking me on a bruise I have on my leg and asking "Does that hurt?", then laughing about it. <br /><br />I asked him to please quit, but he kept doing it until I got angry and yelled at him to cut it the heck out and keep his hands to himself. Then HE got all pouty because I raised my voice at him (never mind that I was the one enduring the jabbing).<br /><br />For us, that's about as big a "fight" as we've ever had.

They might be disagree sometimes.But, words are key.. sometimes can mess the relationship or sometimes can make it better.I think, the best thing is to do is learn how to control them and think before saying.I think it gets easier to do this when the marriage gets older.yoncahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279848731673828058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6379327498578817385.post-73275908436604451352010-07-22T08:59:35.705-05:002010-07-22T08:59:35.705-05:00Well, SonyaAnn, I still think it is just sad.
