Thanks to recent advances in modern medicine, you can now get a picture of exactly what
someone is thinking! For example, here is a picture of what Thao was thinking over the weekend...
Seriously though, no matter how happy a couple is, there are always times when they are
fighting. For Thao and I, it seems that we are fighting about once a month. That works out to
about 96% happiness, which is pretty good, right??
The important part is how easy it is to forgive each other and how fast we can get back to our
normal happy life. Thao explained something to me this weekend that I never quite understood
until now...
She said that men and women are different. No matter how much I try to explain something,
when she is angry she just can't listen. I need to just say sorry and shut up and not try to talk
about everything right at that time. Do I need to be right all the time? If both people try to be
the winner of an argument, they both lose. You might argue a lot and win the fight, but do you
really win if you lose the one you love? You need to try to understand each other and not think
only for yourself, even if you think it was the other person who did something bad. That's what
being in love is all about.
No matter what, I know in my heart that Thao really loves me, and if she really did something
wrong she always says sorry and makes it up to me later. If there is an argument, we shouldn't
fight to pick a winner. It's to make both people understand and learn more about each other.
And I know that's true, because no matter what happens, after the fight is over it always seems
like we love each other more and more.
