Discussion is always better than Argument
Because ARGUMENT is to find out WHO is RIGHT
while DISCUSSION is to find out WHAT is RIGHT.

We always discuss our plans over dinner or in bed. We never argued about anything. Argument is not healthy; it's not good when children are around. That don't mean everything is perfect all the time. I will do everything in my power to maintain a 98% rating between me and my wife. Great topic, Rev. Marriage is difficult only if you make it difficult. Posters might find my input useful.
IT LOOKS LIKE ARGUMENTS ARE DRIVEN BY

No relationship is perfect, but it is clear from your comments above that you and your first lady have a relationship based on respect, caring, honesty and trust. Good for you!
MOST COUPLES WHO ARGUE WILL TELL YOU THEY ARE NOT ARGUING---THEY ARE JUST EXPLAINING WHY THEY ARE RIGHT.
And that's where all the trouble starts---explaining who is right and who is wrong.
You have disagreements all the time in a healthy and loving relationship---what the Rev has learned over the years---throw the damn EGO in the garbage---and everything will be cool.

Most couples are in denial and afraid to accept that they are arguing. It takes mature partners to understand a discussion from argument. Discussion is spoken in soft tone and not talking over each other. You listen before you speak. Argument is totally the opposite. Body language has a lot to do with whole idea.

You are dropping some serious wisdom on the board today.
You mentioned mature partners---the problem is immature people always want to win arguments---the mature ones don't mind losing---if that means the relationship stays solid.
RE: ARGUMENTS ON GNI
You have seen the arguments in political---they always end up vulgar.
The truth is behind every argument is someone's IGNORANCE.
