Yes, I will look forward to not listening to people tell us intimate secrets of how their marriage works. One particular piece of advice that I hated to hear was "Never go to bed angry at each other".
I admit, Tyler and I have gone to bed angry at eachother. We have broken the #1 rule of a happy marriage and guess what? We still have a happy marriage!
Usually when we get in a fight or we don't see eye to eye, I feel so frustrated and angry inside that I just want to run around naked and scream my head off. I am sure that Tyler feels the same way and I know that many of you married people out there do too.
Then, I feel like making him sleep on the floor or on the couch but then I think about him going to work the next day and how much it would stink to walk around all day with a sore back, so I don't.
After that, I feel like doing something totally irrational like hiding his book or putting a beef bullion cube in the showerhead. But that would mean that he would be even more upset about "misplacing" his book and he would smell like beef the whole night.
Next, I feel like running away to the nearest ice cream store and eating a whole gallon by myself. However, I then realize that me gaining weight and wasting gas would only hurt me in the long run and not him. So I change my mind.
Finally, I feel like really punishing him by not talking to him for the entire day and totally ignoring him; dinner and everything. So, I fall asleep with the plan of giving him the silent treatment all day so he can see what he is really missing out on.
Usually, I will then have a dream about Tyler becoming a polygamist or him saying that he wants a divorce and wake up in such unbearable sorrow that all I want to do is hug him and cuddle him and hold him. By the time I wake up the next day, we have both forgotten what the argument was all about and we move on with our life.
So If I could give any advice to all the more newlywed couples, it would be to not listen to anyones advise and do what works for you.

HAHAHA Awesome post! The advise about never going to bed angry is absurd! Seriously...a lot of people do so much better sleeping it off, I know we do. I agree that you should just do what works for you.
I am glad you never do any of those things to Tyler that you imagine up in your head, although they are absolutely hilarious and had me laughing my head off. I admit, I have gone to bed several times planning on giving Ben the silent treatment the next day. I wake up feeling so silly.
And I promise you, you won't get any "so when are you going to have a baby" from us. Oh, that is so annoying!!!!
