A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video featuring Dave and Ashley Willis discussing relationship dynamics. They emphasize the importance of choosing battles wisely in marriage—couples should identify the truly important issues together and intentionally let minor annoyances go to preserve peace and perspective.
I do think there's a lot of couples, they just feel like they're constantly in a fight, like, over every little thing. And I think just hearing kind of that mantra, so to speak, like saying, like, we're going to believe this, and so we're going to sit down as a couple and decide what are the big things, and then we're going to be willing to not make a big deal about these other little things, to choose our battles wisely. You know, that's kind of a phrase that's thrown around a lot. I think that that that will help people to have so much more peace. Right. And perspective.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, even early in our marriage, we had to learn that we did.
Not everything's a huge deal. I think that that simple truth right there could be so clarifying for so many couples who are listening, where you. You get in this negative spiral and you realize part of the reason why is we're making everything a big deal.
Yeah.
And then when we really do have something that's a big deal, we don't have a way to differentiate that when everything has been a crisis.
