Great post and I definitely agree. It's important to have conversations like this when neither person is feeling emotional about it. My husband and I have found it leads to messier, unconstructive fights.

Thanks for writing these tips - it's really nice to hear personal anecdotes from someone else in a newer marriage.

I always feel that its easier to put my feelings into the correct words if we talk about it a little while later.
And you're right about sometimes a thing will seem less important later too and you realize you can just let it go if you want to.

When you put it all in prespective it seems so easy, even if it isn't during the heat of the moment.
