  1. The math analogy works here as well because what you call ‘problems’ are also known as ‘exercises’ that should be ‘worked’ on to gain ‘understanding’.

    But I do agree with your overall point.

  2. Ah, but what makes history fun is that it’s not a collection of facts at all. It’s an interpretation of remembered perceptions.

    I’d run with the concept of meteorology: your partner is like the weather. Sometimes you get a wonderful sunny day, other times you have thunder and lightning. Whatever the weather is, you can’t change it, but you can change how you meet it.

    Hmmmm … does anybody have a sarcasm umbrella I can use?

  3. I agree with the math part, but I’m not sure about history either. It is a bad idea to bring up the past history too much, especially when mad. “This is the fourth time you’ve done this” may be a fact. And it is even math. But don’t ask me for a better subject. Good chemistry?

  4. What an interesting analogy! I look forward to reading your next post on this!

  5. Keeping in mind that God’s last word to the church on marriage is Ephesians 5:33 ” Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” – little can affect one without the other – lest you forget this, history will repeat itself!
