It's personal, but beyond that I need someone to know me well enough to tell me when I'm on the right track and when I am way off base. And about the phone calls during the day: unusual for us unless it's about something specific. Curious but rarely talk about with anyone but a close friend or two.

According to experts on marriage, this is not good and means that we don't know how to handle conflict or admit that it exists. However, because we both learned many lessons from our first marriages, we spent hours talking about potential problem areas before we married. We also learned not to sweat the small stuff, and that neither of us were mindreaders, so we needed to express our wants and desires. Do we get annoyed with each other? Sure. However, it never escalates to yelling, and the annoyance passes as quickly as it flares. Regarding couples that don’t fight, my husband and I are one of them.
