5 Ridiculous Things that Married Couples Fight About

1.  What temperature a space should be.

We all want our home (and even our cars) to be comfortable, but we usually have a different “ideal temperature” than our spouse.  So, we end up fighting over how hot our cold our house or car needs to be.  How silly is that?

Dave and I used to disagree over this, but we’ve found a way to compromise on this.  I like our spaces to be really cold.  At night, I lower the thermostat and even turn on the ceiling fan, and Dave bundles up next to me.  We’ve learned that we can both have what we want in this situation, and the temperature of our home is simply not worth the fight.

Do you and your spouse struggle with this one?  If so, see how you can meet in the middle and stop arguing over the temperature in the space.  There is no right or wrong temp for your home, but it is wrong to allow this silly issue of preference to drive a wedge between you and your spouse.

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.  Romans 14:19
