GF,

Whew! You guys have a classic communication problem. Both of you saying what you want, but not working together. Your marriage could really be helped by a Retrouvaille weekend. It's only 2 days and it is the solution. Go to the website, http://www.helpourmarriage.org and read about the 4 stages of marriage. Then look for a weekend near you. The sooner the better. Don't delay. These little arguments are poison for your relationship. You are so close to making it all work out. They will teach you how to communicate so the other person wants to make changes to get along. Wish I could describe it, but it takes the whole weekend to make it work. Then there are weekly follow-up sessions to reinforce the progress. They changed our lives. They can change yours too.
