"I do not think you are wrong....however..."
"I am not changing my mind on this..."
"Let's agree to disagree..."
"I think you are right in what you are saying...but..."
These were all direct quotes from my kitchen this morning while we made waffles, and had coffee. Rob and I have never had a "fight" in the sense most people tend to fight and for that I am so grateful. However, we do have some disagreements, they are very very far and few in-between (truthfully, I couldn't tell you the last time)...but this morning we couldn't settle to agree on something. I always hate strife. I'm not good at it, and it just makes my heart hurt, and it gives me a pit in my stomach. This morning was different...although we still have differing views and opinions on the matter we hugged one another and walked away just fine.
I've learned it is really ok to agree to disagree...it makes us human, and although we are joined as one in marriage, we are two very different minds and that is actually a good thing.
So, I'm grateful today for the way we can agree to disagree.
