Relationships are tricky. Friends, siblings, husbands, children... they all have different rules of engagement. Either that or I am hopelessly clueless. Let's take a little show of hands poll here to see if you always agree with your spouse. Not on what to have for dinner, but about ideas or concepts that create our world and society.
Hands up.
I don't always agree with mine.
On MOST things we are in perfect agreement, but sometimes we aren't. And when we aren't it is like there is a little crack in the veneer. It isn't a huge thing, but you can see it.
I could, to make things easier, just shut up about some things. Instead I talk it until it is dead. And that crack is just a little bit clearer.
Why? Why not just let it go? Why not leave it alone altogether?
Curious things these relationships.
