5 Ridiculous Things that Married Couples Fight About

5. How to fold the clothes/linens.

This one is similar to the last one, but it causes more fights.  There are some of us–ahem, me included–who like order.  We like our clothes, towels, and linens folded a specific way, and when they are not, it drives us bonkers.  And, we let our spouse know it–only to cause more frustration in our marriage.  Friends, it’s just not worth it.  They are pieces of fabric, for crying out loud!  And, our life will not fall apart if everything isn’t folded the exact same way.

So, what should we do?  If how the clothes and towels are folded mean a lot to you, then kindly show your spouse how you prefer it being done.  But, if he/she doesn’t get it exactly right every time, don’t lay into him/her about it.  Just go back and refold it when they aren’t in the room, or learn to shake it off and appreciate that the garment/towel is folded and put away at all.  It’s all about choosing PEACE OVER PERFECTION.  Let’s let go of the petty stuff and focus on the important things.  Let’s make a conscious effort to choose peace over perfection each and everyday.

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.  Psalm 29:11
