Re: Best Advice You Received on Your Wedding/Marriage
^I quite agree. Rather than always keeping quiet and accepting everything in order to avoid conflict, it would be far wiser to pick your battles and raise and discuss issues that are important. I would think that knowing how to choose your battles would be common sense as we do that in various other facets of life, such as with our parents or in a work setting.
While I think that one should keep quiet and refrain from arguing over petty, insignificant issues, one should not keep quiet about major, important issues simply to avoid conflict. Quietly accepting everything, even when it may not be right, only leads to resentment and conflict further down the road. Resentment also makes people rather bitter and unpleasant to be around.
