Men - can’t live with ‘em, need a buddy to help hide the body.

It's kinda sad to say, but with the marriage separation rate so nowadays, you guys have managed something truly special then. Keep it up!!! :) Maybe you can post more about how you guys overcome arguments. that sounds wonderful!

A few times people have remarked about it saying they have no idea what we're talking about. :D (yes, he puts the seat down and opens doors ;) ) Yep, you’re bang on with that last bit - we work a LOT together, more so than most couples. you should hear our conversations, full of half-sentences and everything.

Does he still put the seat down for you? :) Though I also stick by my belief that sharing work closely with each other will allow closer interaction and add to the understanding for each other. whew I somehow got a totally different perspective from reading that article then!

Just trying to highlight one of our funnier conversation, and maybe show how we *have* had the same conversation before, so ultimately, I knew how it would end. Not that he's tryng to get out of work, rather that back when I stripped off the paper, I went into it knowing it was my job I fully volunteered for. :) We do know each other well enough that we can predict what the other will say (with 95% accurateness, 19 times outof 20). Not a lack of communication there at all, but an intuitive awareness of the other person, and an almost full realization of the "two halves of a whole" part of marriage. :D Guys, we’ve been together almost 20 years now.

Thought processes, like any muscle control needs to be exercised in order to function properly. Even though you ran through the conversation in your head first, if Ron was guided and intertwined within that block of conversation, his thinking process might hit upon the fact that fixing the walls is tedious, and that it should be a team effort. Perhaps the key to a good marriage is regular communication instead of summarized limited communication. Because that might just breed one-sided thinking instead of an open-minded compromising solution.
