Getting to the Real Issues
So my last post was supposed to offer some advice to the married ladies out there about what their husbands might be upset about. Robb then offered his thoughts on the matter. And then I read Maria's thoughts on how people sometimes use sex as a weapon, and it got me thinking about the things that really tend to tear relationships apart. From what I've observed, almost all problems boil down to differences of opinion over two areas: sex and money. I know personally, when I think about all of the "discussions" (note: I define discussions as fights that don't result in spilling of tears, breaking of plates, or any other emotional or property damage) my wife and I have had lately, they've been about sex or money. And when I really analyze those discussions more, I'm not so sure I can really separate the two. Because at least for us, the issues have become so intertwined that now it's just one big, seemingly unsolvable problem.
So let me pose a question to all the married folks out there: what do you and your significant other disagree over more - sex or money?
P.S. Please don't post any "We've been married for 15 years and we never fight" comments, b/c if you don't at least occasionally argue w/ your spouse about something, you either a) have nothing at all in common w/ each other; or b) you've already started sleeping with other people.

Thanks for the shout out, Nebbitt, and for you comments in my blog about the sex/weapon issue.
I can see where money can come into play in the source of arguments. I don't really have feedback to give on that subject, but I hope to read some of your readers' comments on this!
Nebbit, my friend...
We need to talk. Soon...
My fights back then were always about money and not ever about sex. That was the one way we got along!
So in your marriage, you had enough sex but not enough money. In my marriage, I have enough money but not enough lovin' - man, if we combined us into one person we'd be one wealthy, oversexed fool!
Dude...if one woman could have both of us, God help her!
I saw that in a movie once. Nothing like a love sandwich :)
