Years ago, I remember struggling with a shortcoming in our marriage. I was just about bubbling over with it. And then my husband sweetly came to me and said, “Thank you for being patient with me.

I had a renewed patience for our situation and a renewed commitment to face it together instead of pulling away with frustration.

It might be time to change the "usual or fixed way" you do things and try something different. It might be time to change your routine. The way you did things before kids might not work once you have kids. The way you did something last year might not work this year.
Rather than pursue a "fight-free" marriage, perhaps seek a relationship with healthy conflict resolution. While I do not savor conflict, the truth is that often conflict can lead to a healthier and stronger marriage. Through confronting our issues, we grow deeper in understanding, love, and affection for each other.
