Dear Joanie,

I think you answered your own question in the first line, "he treats me like a queen".

You Can Work Through Anything

After I read that, it is hard for me to say that anything else can't be worked through. You both approach your differences without getting personal and accusatory, so obviously you respect each other, which is the other half of the battle.

If we could all respect these differences the way you two have been able to do, think of all the pain in this world that could have been avoided.

Keep Respecting Each Other

I also think that these skirmishes that you two have handled so maturely is a good signal that you will be able to respect other differences of opinion that you may encounter in the future. Very important.

I think you have made a very good start. Good luck!
