ARGUMENTS ARE THE GROWING PAINS OF MARRIAGE

I was chatting with an old friend over the phone who had recently gotten divorced. She’d been married for many years, and honestly, from an outside perspective, I didn’t see any trouble with her marriage. They always seemed to work well as a team. They often posted very happy Facebook photos of them together, smiling, doing couple things. I asked her what I assume are usual questions when people get divorced, “How are you holding up?” and “How are your kids?”

Then I asked, “You both seemed fine. Were you two fighting behind close doors, or something?”
