I am certain that you have seen this before... You begin speaking to a couple and one of them makes a comment, such as, "It was October 1999 when I started at the old factory" then the spouse interrupts and says "no John remember it was November when you started at the old factory." Then of course they bicker between each other trying to convince the other of what month it was. Of course as you sit listening to them you wonder to yourself if the month he started at the factory is really the point of the conversation or if it really matters at all. Just then John continues on with the story still feeling agitated by his spouse and of course she will feel equally agitated by him for disagreeing.
What a marital wedge!
Squabbling about small insignificant details really does not promote a happy marriage especially when that squabbling is in public.
Try to show care and concern for your spouse and care more about what they are saying rather than tearing them down for an unimportant fact.
