Our new approach to marriage

About 8:00 this morning, we decided that we had each said "I love you" often enough. We'll just remember that the other person has told us and not bother with saying it and repeating ourselves.

This new marriage philosophy was confirmed by reading the blog of respected friends who have been married longer than we have. They had an experience that once again proves that the best way to avoid fights between married people is not to talk to each other.

Thus, Jesse and I have resolved not to talk to each other* and most definitely to avoid saying those three words that have been constantly repeated.

*Exceptions to this resolve have already been established for e-mail conversations and cell phone calls. Further exceptions to this resolve will be considered as occurences arise in which we feel like we need to talk.
