I see it all the time. Couples get a divorce one complaining that the other is not respecting their wishes.
Perhaps they have forgotten there vows from their wedding day. On this special day they are IN agreement. Everyone is on the same page and excited about the future. Then it happens.
They disagree on a number of topics. Holidays- simple or a cruise? Saving for retirement or get that new car? How do we discipline our spending? You get the picture.
I have learned that if we are NOT in agreement on a topic. We agree to do NOTHING until both of us are at peace with the direction we are to go.
What usually happens is someone bullies the other into submission. Manipulation and game playing are the usual partners in the tool kit to get what you want.
I just want to encourage you to wait for agreement. Peace will reign in your relationships if you respect your partner. After all marriage is a team game!
