    Did you have yours yet with your husband?  I am thankful not to have had ours yet, but if you have, what was it about?  And how did you get through it?  And was it a different process than before you were married?

    I don't think we had a single fight before we got married. Have we had them post wedding?  Yep. The first big fight/argument :  wedding Icon Wink

    Oh wow Mrs Bee!  We definitely fought more before we got engaged, and didn't really fight much after we did so.  A lot of my pent up anger was probably because we weren't engaged.  Its embarassing admitting it sometimes, but I really wanted to get married! Actually, if no one we knew was getting married I wouldn't have cared, but it was really frustrating seeing people getting married all around us, especially being "that couple" that had been together forever (7 years before marriage).  Once we bought our house, I was ready, and frustrated!

    I imagine finances will be one of our big issues.  We've basically been skirting it right now.  We will probably look into refinancing in the first half of the year, so we might just have to come clean with our personal finances soon!

    We haven't had a "big" fight, but there have certainly been tiny arguments where we'll get upset with each other for about 5 minutes.  I don't know about the "big" fight, I'm kind of afraid to have it, I feel like we had some major fights the year and a half of our engagement, it's been nice not having drama in our newlywed life!

    Haha - Everytime we attempt a home improvement project :)  There's been others too - guess it's a good sign I can't remember 'the big one' or even what most of them have been about.

    We really don't fight about anything either.. Maybe stupid petty stuff, but we're laughing again in 5 minutes.  I will say that the most uncomfortable fight or disagreement that has happened recently is putting ourselves on a huge budget.  Money isn't great right now (with the economy) and the Mr. is facing a possible lay off in the next 2-3 months, so we are trying to prep for the worst.  It's really hard facing reality with our own financial messes.. and now it's really going to be tough.  So hopefully your financial situation is not in a bind and you'll be able to be fight free for the new year!

    Our first big fight was on our honeymoon.  I meant to blog about that but seem to have slipped off my honeymoon blogging efforts.

    Anyway, I wanted to buy a piece of glass in Murano and Mr Corn had already put down money for a leather jacket for me in Rome, so he said I could buy it with my money.  Of course, I was so upset because it was supposed to be OUR money now that we were married.

    Our biggest fight so far is music at the ceremony. Since I was a teen, I promised my sister she could sing the ceremony. Well, FI doesn't like that idea, and so far she is singing one song. It stinks but things require compromise and patience, I guess :)

    Not really. We don't really argue. We're both just not fighters by nature, and we both had previous long-term relationships that were really stressful - and we don't want that again! We don't always agree, but we manage to always come to a compromise or solution without fireworks. We're firm believers in "when your wrong admit it; when you're right shut up." We also will "pass" decisions on certain topics to one person or the other. Both of us put in our input, but we leave it to the more experienced one to make the final call. For example, DH makes final decisions about home repair and cars, and I make the final call on finance and health matters.

    But I'm sure an argument is inevitable - I think it will probably be about finanaces or parenting. DH is a spender; I'm a saver. And we grew up in very different families/situations.
