I feel like those first few years are so formative and if you can make some good habits and stay consistent then it's a lot easier when you add kids and jobs into the mix. The first time I can remember needing to compromise was when we had been marreied about 6 months. We ended by him agreeing to soak the dishes (bc I don't mind rinsin and putting things into the dishwasher, but I had wasting time scrubbing) and he wanted me to make the bed. So he still soaks his oatmeal cup and I still make the bed:) ta da! Compromise and communication. That's how we do it.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555733621307512935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-41435503717063148242011-06-09T11:04:17.952-07:002011-06-09T11:04:17.952-07:00I agree with Jenners, I don't think my hubby w...I agree with Jenners, I don't think my hubby would be so understanding. He wouldn't yell or anything, I just don't think he'd let it roll off so easily without some irritated comment. But we don't fight that often, anymore. We just get frustrated with each other from time to time. Things used to get more heated before the kids, but we've mellowed with age and we definitely don't want to fight in front of them, either.Keshyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13753270540676067426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-7678139680541205572011-06-08T14:51:04.171-07:002011-06-08T14:51:04.171-07:00What a great post!

"Eric works hard so that I can be home with the kids so those little things like the laundry are a given for me to be able to do."<br />I think having that perspective is also a huge reason for the fact that you don't fight. We do, and I wish we didn't. We are so different, and it has taken us a long time to get to where we are now. We rarely fight now, but we still do on occasion. My goal is to not fight at all.

We feel so strange when people talk about all the fights they have had then turn to us and we just kinda laugh. Why fight? How can I possibly fight with him? Glad you have a great man in your life, I know just how grateful I am for mine! <br /><br />Hmmm what do we do to strengthen out relationship.... I would say we play games. We like to play games even though neither on of us is competitive at all. It always makes us laugh. We all know, laughter is the best medicine for everything!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585164388854189512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-41887479867844252872011-06-07T17:31:12.266-07:002011-06-07T17:31:12.266-07:00Wow!!

My husband and I don't really fight either. Occasionally we bicker a little bit, or I nag him when he's procrastinating, but we don't yell, scream, or swear at each other. We don't hit below the belt, I guess you could say. I think one of the things that determines the health of a marriage is how the couple fights. In general, fights aren't necessarily bad. But fighting dirty is a detriment to the relationship. Congratulations on having a great marriage! P.S. My hubby's name is Eric too.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11315429169041252089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-10675728821932468032011-06-07T14:57:11.058-07:002011-06-07T14:57:11.058-07:00Wow - that is wonderful... you are lucky to have s...Wow - that is wonderful... you are lucky to have someone who care for you.Together We Savehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294423259234525733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-22100571041023486262011-06-07T13:38:49.390-07:002011-06-07T13:38:49.390-07:00I love how understanding you both are to each othe...I love how understanding you both are to each other.

My husband and I do fight from time to time, but we always try to keep each other in check by not freaking out over the small things...like udnerwear. We also always fight calm and fair, or at least that's how I fight and refuse to talk to my husband until he calms down, he tends to be more passionate than I am about things. :) <br /><br />Glad you are so happily married, it's a gift!The Mommy Therapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497632312075770712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-74407927624143431462011-06-07T08:04:32.923-07:002011-06-07T08:04:32.923-07:00What a cute picture of the two of you!
