5 Ridiculous Things that Married Couples Fight About

2. What to watch on TV.

Dave and I have A LOT in common, but this does’t necessarily ring true when it comes to television shows.  As one who lives in a home full of boys, I love to watch the girliest shows possible, like “Gilmore Girls,” “Say Yes to the Dress,” and “Four Weddings,” when I have the remote.  Dave, however, could care less about these–even though he has graciously watched a few of these with me on more than one occasion.

So, what’s a couple to do when you can’t agree on what to watch?  We do what we tell our kids to do.  We take turns.  We try and engage in what our spouse likes to watch, and we share our favorite shows with him/her, too.

For Dave and I, this has been fun.  We’ve found some shows we can enjoy together, but we try to take turns watching some of our individual favorites, too.  Just the other day, the NFL Draft was on, and I knew Dave wanted to see it.  He didn’t ask, but I went ahead and turned flipped to that channel.  I loved seeing his face light up.  As I watched it with him, I asked him questions about how the NFL draft works, and honestly, I really enjoyed it.  And, I now know a thing or two about it that I didn’t know before–which was nothing at all.  Gotta start somewhere, right?

So, get in there.  Take turns–or, better yet, turn off the television and go for a walk together.  Fighting over television shows just isn’t worth it.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.  Romans 12:18

This 3rd one seems harmless, but it causes fights in the bedroom…
