"Men and women belong to different species and communications between them is still in its infancy." Bill Cosby
differences in gender, coupled w/our "stuff/emotional garbage" can lead to an exercise in futility. as i work through my "stuff" & attempt to argue w/o getting all "red" & intimidating, i realize how hard it is. @ the point where you (married/dating couples) forget what you're arguing about, and the temperature is rising for both- remember/practice this:
Proverbs 17:14 (New Living Translation)
14Beginning a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

3. "Ohh, you are so cute when your face gets all red and scrunched up like that."
4. "You're just upset because your backside is beginning to spread."
5. "Wait a minute...I get it. What time of the month is it?"
6. "Are you gonna cry now?" (force lip to quiver mockingly)
7. "You sure you don't want to consult the great Oprah on this one?"
8. "Sorry. I was just picturing you naked."
9. "Whoa, time out honey. Football is on."
10. "Is there any way we can do this via e-mail?"
When Smokey and I argue, it only lasts for a couple of minutes, then I let it go and give him a hug... :)
