Marriage and Divorce

If the researchers are correct, and I think they are, many if not most marriages break down because of an over reaction to differences. If we never learn how to deal with differences without getting upset, the many deep and abiding differences between men and women will surely develop into unhealthy conflict. Healthy conflicts build deep and abiding love and nurture but unhealthy conflicts are those that have personal attacks in them.

In my opinion, the "Grievance Industry" has made unhealthy conflicts more prevalent and more bitter. The Politically Correct Police are constantly playing amateur psychiatrist and projecting deep Freudian meaning to every nuance of male and female relationships. If a man and woman argue today there is always the attack the "You women are all too emotional that is why you are upset with my use of pornography!" Or she might say. "You sexist pigs are always insensitive to strong women!"

Here is one of my guidelines for resolving differences.

"Never Offend" try never to attack, demean or disrespect another person.

"Never Defend" try never to defend yourself to anyone else.

Especially a spouse!!!

Bless and do not curse the ones you love.
