My wife and I learned early on the importance of learning how to “pretend fight” so as to avoid real fights. While we might say something along these lines to each other once in a while, we both know neither of us means it. And saying it in a “not meaning it” manner and setting keeps us from saying stuff like that and meaning it. Sounds weird, but it’s worked for us for 25 happy years…25 out of 32 isn’t all that bad. ☺
