The HoneyVinegar talk.

The first one to Capitulate, wins most fights over time.

I know that is a no-sequitor, but its true.

Over time two people rush to examine their conscience, and 90 pct of bickering, is over minutae, so when they are racing each other to retreat, happiness blossoms.

Agreed - I used to let more little things bother me but The Marine has always been pretty even tempered....Luckily I recognized that early and began to follow his lead. We rarely even jokingly bicker - we are usually on the same page about everything.

One of the most fundamentally misunderstood axioms, of manipulating the opposite gender.

On both sides..

Women, are...on the average better at it.

They call it assuaging the male ego.

Ironic, isnt it. Doctors that kiss Oprahs @$$ wind up as TV icons?

Dr.Oz. his daughter is on the Chew, and his wife is launching a TV show.
