She Said Ok, we've been married for 17 years and we've had two arguments. He Said As probably most big arguments, they are a culmination of things that have been building up. Then you air it out and you find out you really don't want me to fix things when you come to me and say "I'm having this problem." You don't want to hear all of the ways I can come up with solutions. You just want me to listen. It took me a little while to figure that out. Did you always want a restaurant? She Said Absolutely not. We owned the building and we had different tenants for years. When the last tenant went out of business, I called our ex-partner, never intending to partner on it. Just wanted to pick his brain on ideas. He suggested to do a restaurant and I said "ok." So Kirk came home from work that day and I said, "Guess what? We're going to open a restaurant!" He Said I said, Sure. Whatever. She Said Afterwards he said "What's the worst that can happen?" I said "We can lose literally xxx amount of money. Are we ok with that?" You have to willing to do that and we both said we can do that. What advice would you give others reading this piece? What's worked for you? She Said For me, I think the most important thing is respect. If you respect someone and you treat them well, you give them weight. I think that's important, in any relationship, especially in a marriage. I know he respects me, my thoughts, my opinions, my feelings, and I feel the same way about him. He Said That's the two things I was thinking about: partnership and respect. I admire her, respect her and respect her opinion. She looks at things from a different angle than I do and we compliment each other. We've made sort of a conscious decision not to disrespect each other. When you start saying negative things, you start believing it. That's a destructive force, rather than a creative force. 3800 S Tamiami Trail, Suite 329, Sarasota, 34239 Phone 941.923.6500 Greg@InsureWithGibson.com A Better Way to Insure and Invest At Gibson Financial & Insurance, we make sure you are prepared for life's emergencies.
