I'm afraid that most couples would rather avoid conflict and thus let issues go unresolved. It takes a lot of discipline and openness to be willing to discuss marital matters and make unselfish decisions. I guess that's part of maturing as a person and couple. Great advice here and thanks for sharing. What a novel concept of discussing important issues in your marriage.

Every couple should practice this kind of attitude, to have a few discussions for every house decision. In our house, my husband allows me to manage our finances; he just remits to me the money and forget it. Nice thing to do is to follow the given tips above; I will surely do it by this weekend when my husband and I got the chance to talk. Thanks for sharing! Wow, interesting post!
