His love is fair

Day 13 - Love fights fair

Today's dare: Talk with your spouse about establishing healthy rules of engagement.  If your mate is not ready for this, then write your own personal rules to "fight" by.  Resolve to abide by them when the next disagreement occurs.

The military has rules of engagement, relationships should too. 

My rules of engagement are:

1. Don't fire even if fired upon
2. In the event of a bombing, stay calm and maintain focus
3. Don't ever mention the "atomic bomb"
4. Don't talk about yesterday's war during today's
5. If needed wave the white flag for surrender
6. Never go back to the barracks angry
7. Failure is not an option, a peace accord must be found

Does your relationship have rules of engagement?  If not take a moment and think of some of your own.  Put in place "We" rules and "I" rules.  Work hard at maintaining your "I" rules even when the "We" rules fall through.
