So you just got married. You have been walking on honeymoon egg shells. Since the honeymoon, you have been very agreeable, and tried to make this new life the perfect one that you always dreamt of.  Reality Check? Sooner or later you will have a difference of opinion. Yes, an argument. Your marriage is not over. Every couple argues. However, the way you argue, the way you speak to one another, and listen to one another can hugely influence the course your marriage will take. Plan how you plan to argue. If you don't handle that well, you will be hardening one another's hearts, and that drives a wedge between you and the one you love the most. If you can set up realistic guidelines and stick to them, you may end up holding hands in your rockers when you are .......   ancient.  Or ninety. Whichever comes first. Furthermore, a time out to recognize "the rules" may insert a momentary breather or half-smile into an already difficult situation.  In this thread, I will be writing about "The Fight Night Rules" that will lead to being happily beside your mate in a rocker and not somewhere, alone, and off your rocker.
