#14: Let Us Sit in Peace
Sometimes, I take a look at my relationship with my wife and feel as if I can watch situations play out from the side, witnessing the rapid escalation of minuscule misunderstandings into full-blown fights within a matter of minutes. It’s like I can see it all happening, but I am somehow powerless to stop it.

One of the things that regularly causes conflict is that critical time after work when I’ve just arrived home. So this goes out to my wife if you’re reading: I want to help with the housework, play with the kids, give you affection, and pay the bills… I just need ten minutes, maybe twenty.
