Random personal post (stop reading now):

A couple a weeks ago, my wife and I were arguing about something. My 12yo accused us of being an old married couple.

This triggered a mindset change for me.

We used to argue and I would get angry that we'd had this argument before and why couldn't she just she that I was right. I'd expend more mental energy on the angry than on the argument.

Now, sometimes, I can view the disagreement as one we might still be having in 30 years time and see us as the old married couple, very much in love, still bickering about the things we have always bickered about.

With that mindset I can see it affectionately.
