Petty Arguements

I love my husband, but we have arguements over the most trivial things.  Since we are giving our marriage a second try, we are trying to be extra careful with each other feelings so that we don't end up in the same situation that we found ourselves a few years ago (divorced).  Just this morning we argued about respecting the other person's right to sleep in peace. We have different work schedules, so the only time for us to talk and bond is on the weekend when he doesn't have to work.  For some reason, last night he refused to turn the light off so I could sleep.  I have a hard enough time falling to sleep as is.  So, I went off this morning.

He hates when I turn the lights on when he is sleeping. So, I let him know in advance or cover his head when I am going to turn the light on.  On the other hands, he just acts like everything is centered around him.  I realize that he is the head of the house, but my needs are just as real and just as important as his.  My job to him may not seem all that stressful, but it is.  So, I need a couple of hours of sleep to be effective at it.  I just wish we didn't have to argue so much.  One weekend we argued about SEX.  I wanted to have sex, but he pushed me off because he was sleepy.  I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I honestly want a peaceful marriage.  I am blessed that we are not violent with each other and after a few hours of not speaking to each other we always make up.  However, we wouldn't need to make-up  so much if we only argued about things that really matter.

    sounds like couples therapy would be in order for you two.

    You may have a point. We did marriage counseling. The pastor said that I have to take his feelings into consideration because I am not one to hold my tongue (generally). A little therapy couldn't hurt us. I will suggest it. Thanks.
