The Argument Skit

from the Dishwasher Archives

Dear dishwasher.
We argue all the time….(let this one be about arguments) We always argue over small things and the tension seems to stay between us until we have a romantic encounter of some kind. The small arguments are stopping us from being closer (spiritually)

Me vs Him


Dearest Me,

The best way to end arguments is for one of you to agree ....all the time....to everything. Lighten up and play more.

Think of life as a theatre, your relationship as a production and the roles you play as parts. Simply change the script ...decide who is the agree-er in advance and do it for fun…for limited periods of time. In reality, life is truly a theatre and the sooner you understand your behavior as roles instead of acts of being you, you will play yourself much better and be  able to manage your rolls better. This theatrical model of relationship is liberating because it gives you freedom and ability to change behavior. Life becomes fun. And that’s the only environment that will nourish love.

I remember an old used car salesman in the small town where I lived once would say: "Win the argument ...and lose the sale"

Your choice: keep arguing and one of you will win and both will lose the relationship.

Yours,
The Dishwasher
