Make love not war

Last week I learned that the average couple argues 2,455 times a year, that is 6 to 7 times a day. WHA?! How is that possible, oh wait, it is because I argue that much with my husband. I actually didn't think I did until I listened to myself this past weekend. It is crazy about all the little bickerings that go on throughout the day....So, note to self:

1. More dates
2. Think...does it matter? Let it go.
3. Say sorry more and admit that I'm wrong
4. Say I love you more
5. Always think of him (and Beck) first
6. Think before I talk
7. Be less stubborn
8. Be more positive
9. Put that stupid phone/computer away, it is
a serious relationship strainer
10. Save more time for him at the end of the day

I love my husband, and don't want to argue with him 2,455 times this year. That is my goal.

  12. Oh my gosh, that dress is amazing! It looks gorgeous on you!!

    I don't argue with my boyfriend too much but when I'm PMSing, oh boy, he had better be nice. :) I've started to color code the calendar for him so that he knows I don't mean what I say on red days.

  16. Seriously?! No, we don't argue that much - we're too busy sitting on our separate computers not conversing to fight.
