I found myself fussing with my husband yesterday over how he puts dishes in the dishwasher. Why doesn't he listen to me? Of course, my way of placing the dishes is the only right way. 😆
But that little voice in my head stopped me. And then he told me that what HE doesn't like is how I pile the utensils in there because he wants to flip some of the spoons and forks, so they come out clean.... hmm ok... I was ready to argue, and then I thought, what if I just let go of control? What if I just agree?
So, I did... I thanked him for doing it better, and I told him that I appreciated him. And the thing is, I meant it too. Sometimes sincerity works. And sometimes we don't have to try to control everything.
No argument, he felt good, I felt good. We moved on... nice...
