We’ve got a theme going this month for whatever reason, let’s stick with it.
The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

One of the first things a relationship therapist learns is that couples argue to burn up energy that could be used for something else. In fact, arguments often serve the purpose of using up energy, so that the couple do not have to take the courageous, creative leap into an unknown they fear. Arguing serves the function of being a zone of familiarity into which you can retreat when you are afraid of making a creative breakthrough.
