DO NOT COME BACK

How should misunderstandings be handled within marital relationships? The manner in which something is received is most often based on how it's presented. A statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question, request, criticism, or accusation is merely a reflection of how the respondent views the appeal. This response is the phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon. But in marriage, common ground must be found where matters to be discussed, can be, without need for dispute. Any discussions which make one or the other person uncomfortable appears marked by or capable of arousing controversy. Solving a problem or dispute within a marriage cannot be met with the strategy of an intelligent but argumentative child, poised with a witty come-back as if a comedian with perfect timing.
