Excerpt
By the time young men and women enter college, they have usually entertained thoughts about marriage. And while these visualizations are probably wonderful and idealistic, actual marriages can be full of less ideal situations and petty quarrels. Although no marriage is ever perfect, a lot of pain can be avoided if the couple learns to recognize early signs of trouble, because big fights are of ten triggered by very minor things. For example, in the McKinney household, Sarah and I divided into two groups some of these "minor things" that have led to fights. For the sake of this paper, I shall call Sarah's list "ridiculous requests" and I shall call my list "valid grievances."
