The Right & Wrong of A Thing
by Eric Payne
In the midst of an argument, debate or “discussion” be it something from the completely ridiculous to the gravely important, husbands and wives are bound to disagree from time to time.
It’s very easy for one spouse to be wrong during these times. It’s even easier for both to be wrong, no matter who’s actually right. Think about it, which is more wrong: being misinformed and ill advised about something, or fighting to the death because you know you are right? I’d say they’re about neck and neck with each other.
Sometimes it’s easier, and many times it’s necessary to agree to disagree or simply say “okay,” to fight another day (or later). This is especially necessary when it is apparent that a disagreement is getting out of control and when it is happening in public. Millions of dinners across America with friends and family have gone uneaten thanks to relationship meltdowns. Who knows how many of these meals could’ve been spared had the spouses in question been able to pause their issues to resolve them later behind closed doors.
Try it out the next time (and there will be a next time) it happens to you. Take a step back. Take a deep breath. Allow cooler heads to prevail, no matter how tempted you may be. You’ll both be better off for it, in the short and long run.
