You make a good point. You really need to pick your battles carefully instead of throwing your whole marriage into a constant state of conflict. My wife and I are both overly concerned about that.

You can't really change your spouse, can you? The best you can hope for is a level of mutual understanding and appreciation.

I salute your serenity.
