Marital Disagreement

A L O H A!


Sky Fire


"When the winds of change blow,
 some people build walls
 and others build windmills."

Chinese proverb






Ah!


"Who sees all being in his own self,
 and his own self in all beings,
 loses all fear."

Isa 
(Upanishads)

Mark's Driveway






"One doesn’t become enlightened
by imagining figures of light,
 but by making the darkness conscious.

 The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable,
 and therefore not popular."

Carl Gustav Jung












 ><}}(°>

 Couples can find much to disagree about.
Fortunately, my husband & I
  agree on all important matters
- though we seem to disagree
on almost everything unimportant!

"Do it this way."

"No, Like this."


Amazing how large a little thing can loom.

Be careful not to let
bumps
morph into
mountains-
            
         Fondly, cloudia

I thought I might see some volcanic action. That fire in our hearts can be hard to put out if we think well enough.

I'll take a windmill rather than a wall any day!

Teresa said...

Great post!! Love the picture of the clouds.

Daryl said...

Life would be boring if you two agreed on everything!

Jeannie said...

You always have at least one quote a day that speaks to me.

It's good to have disagreements - it means you are still speaking.

Dianne said...

I love the Chinese proverb :)

Charles Gramlich said...

The main thing Lana and I disagree about is our tastes in tv entertainment.

BALLET NEWS said...

LOVE the Chinese proverb. Why are they always so wise ??

Hattie said...

I love coming over here, because I always find lovely pictures and wise sayings.

I love the photos, and the quotes are just what I needed to read.

Regarding the marital disagreements, I know what you mean. My husband and I disagree about cooking temperatures, TV shows and movies, how to clean the house, if it's cloudy or partly sunny... on and on. But, we know deeply these minor spats are nothing compared to the immensity of our love.

If you find yourselves bickering a lot, step back and breathe and ask WHY?! Life is too short for bickering.

I can't choose a favorite today! Though, the last one is close to home, for sure!
Our winds are ferocious today.

Akelamalu said...

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing and long as you don't fall out! :)

Orchid said...

Steffi said...

The best part about marital disagreements is the making up :-).

Freda said...

Have been watching your island on TV and enjoyed seeing some of the sunsets. Love the wise advice. Off for a family weekend now, will remember to listen and learn from the young ones.

Kay said...

I guess marriage is kept interesting by somehow finding those things that we disagree on. The main thing is to always keep a sense of humor.

Hilary said...

I know what that's like.. to disagree on so many issues. Frustrating at the least. ;)

You wouldn't believe how important this entry is to me. Countless nights spend awake due to 'mountains'. A calm and wide sea for you all and a good Friday as well.

Dina said...

I pray for your safety right now. Hoping you are somewhere high and dry as the tsunami approaches.

Bimbimbie said...

Aloha Cloudia sometimes couple have to agree to disagree ;)

Thoughts are with you x

Friko said...

yet it is the little thing repeated over and over which I find most destructive.

perhaps it's best to accept that difference of opinion season the mixture and make it even more palatable.

Reader Wil said...

Dear Cloudia, I hope that you are safe! Take care!

the walking man said...

I never agree or disagree with my wife...I am enlightened.

Raph G. Neckmann said...

Dear friend Cloudia, my thoughts are with you and I hope you are safe and somwhere no tsunami can reach you. Please keep us updated. Sending much love. xxx

Unknown said...

WAKE UP, Cloudia if you are asleep - I hope there are sirens to warn you of the tsunami. I will be thinking of you until I hear you are safe.

Unknown said...

ps, that last comment was me, Junosmom on my other email.

Hilary said...

Unknown said...

Have a great weekend, Cloudia! muuah!

Donna said...

So true Cloudia!! We had a (minor) spat tonight too....but "all is well that ends well" -Me :-)

TALON said...

The big things are important to agree on...the little things add that nice spice of different viewpoints (at least that's what I believe after 30 years of marriage).

Snaggle Tooth said...

I'm hoping all is well there for you n your boat, with the tsunami warning Friday in Honolulu- If you evacuated I hope you get to go home again soon!
(N don't have too many spats- as you are so lucky to have each other!)

Best of luck, been praying for you!
Aloha!
