I was just wondering what little "a ha's" you have discovered that have solved the little things that cause frustrations in marriage.  Sometimes we have insight that will solve those issues.

For example:

Problem: I like to read in bed and DH cannot go to sleep with the light on. 

Solution: I wear a camping headlight at night to read - the small amount of light is enough for me and doesn't disturb him.  Looks silly, but it's just my DH anyway!!

My friend discovered the following:

Problem: Her DH left the toilet seat up all the time.

Solution: They both put the seat and the lid down so that both do the same amount of "work" to get to the optimum position.

Anyone else found a nugget of wisdom?

My DH leaves his dirty socks all over the house.

Solution: I pick them up and put them in his pillow case so he has to sleep on them and smell them all night.

Okay - that didn't fix the problem, but it is fun to do. :)

HAHAHA that was funny BlissfulKate...hysterical.

LMAO @ BlissfulKate!  I *LOVE* that idea!  haha

BlissfulKate!!! you are so smart!! I should try that one!

We didn't really have our own place before we got married. We were staying at my parents.

Well when we got our own place it was so hard to compromise on decor. We still disagree alot. Its going to be tough when we decide to buy a house.

I had the same issue as kristinamarie....our biggest compromises have been on decor.  In buying furniture for our house we did disagree a lot.  He was much more concerned with quality (like buying solid wood only which can be really expensive!) and I was much more interested in style/design of the pieces.  He felt buying things that were solid wood and high quality would last us forever.  My feeling was, I don't want these things forever....I will want to change it up in 10-15 years!  And I don't care how high quality it is...if its ugly I don't want it!  It was VERY HARD to find stuff that satisfied both our needs for quality and style.  And it cost twice as much.  But, what can you do! 

Well... this one caused a lot of friction especially before the wedding and I was crazy-busy doing all the details and needed his help!

Problem:  he spends hours and hours and hours playing an online computer game called Evony when he gets home from work until bedtime.  It's a strategy game & I don't see a point in it.  He's on his desk (in the living room) and I'm on the couch either reading or watching TV.  We don't really get "close" (if you know what I mean ;-)) if he's at his desk & he's not beside me!

Solution: I've talked to him about it.   I give him his "decompression time" when he gets home where I just do my own thing (after greeting him & giving him kisses & hugs).  Now he just comes over to the couch and watches some TV with me and I get my cuddle time with him!  I think not really bugging him and letting him do his thing was the secret!

I love reading these! =) I don't have an example right now, but hopefully I can give some input soon!

lmao Kate!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
