[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you all have scheduled sit downs with spouses to discuss issues? Such as things that you want to change in marriage, child raising or larger life issues?

Spouse and I have a great marriage and we talk frequently, but the bigger things seem to get pushed aside for later or we don't want to bring them up at the time they occur (such as in front of family). Is this a dumb idea? I'm an introspective person and spouse really isn't. I see a therapist and have really enjoyed going through lists of things that I'm thinking about. [/quote]

Relationships are as exceptional and unique as the individuals involved.  There are many couples out there who are rigidly organized, setting aside a specific time and day every week to address issues and air out grievances.  Similarly, there are many couples out there who are strictly sporadic, having heart to heart talks and getting things off their chest whenever the mood or the moment dictates such.  Neither are dumb ideas - whatever works for you...roll with it.  If you'd like more structure and discipline to your discussions with your husband then make a suggestion and see what he says.  He may be uncomfortable or skeptical initially but in all likelihood either there's an acceptable compromise you two can come to or at the very least its something he can "tolerate" every now and again and eventually come to appreciate in time.  As we all know relationships are neither ready made nor custom fit, but its also important to remember that relationships are not set in stone either.  Everything is subject to change in life and as we as individuals change so too do our relationships and both parties involved must adjust and adapt in order to sustain them.

Best of luck.[/quote]
