5 Ridiculous Things that Married Couples Fight About

4. How to arrange the dishes in the dishwasher.

I’ve talked to numerous couples who actually fight about this issue.  One feels strongly that the dishes must be pre-cleaned before placing them neatly in the dishwasher, while the other crams every dish possible in the dishwasher and hopes it will clean them efficiently.  I get it.  Both sides have a point.  But, Friends, this issues is NOT worth fighting over.

So, what’s a couple to do?  If you feel strongly about the dishwasher being super organized and all dishes being pre-washed by hand, then do it that way.  Don’t make your spouse feel like he/she is a slob because they don’t follow your exact method.  You can kindly give him/her some pointers, but it’s not worth fighting over.

In the end, how the dishes are arranged and get cleaned doesn’t really matter.  So, make peace with one another in this area, and stop fighting about it.  Let it go.  You’ll feel so much freedom, and you’ll still have clean dishes at the end of the day.

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.  James 3:18
