Thinking Together Is Your Greatest Weakness

THIS IS, UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OF THE WORST TWO PLACES TO HAVE YOUR WEAKNESS.

All problem-solving requires "thinking together." Therefore, small problems grow into big problems rather quickly, and big problems almost require a therapist.

Work on this problem, separately and together, before things get out of hand some day.

Separately, I'd suggest that you ask yourselves: "Would I rather be right, or happy!" (so you can listen more clearly and stop trying to be "right" all the time).

Together, I might suggest that you attend "couple's workshops" which teach rational problem-solving skills. Remember, if things get rough, get help!

(While this problem is serious, it doesn't usually require LOTS of therapy - just enough to solve the problem that seems so unsolvable when you work on it together....)
