Marriage is a roller coaster with ups and downs. Is it possible that if we just resolve to make the marriage work through all of life’s ups and downs, we would be able to sustain a long and loving marriage? Instead of focusing on our concerns, can we concentrate on making the marriage work and turning it into a success? Instead of always wanting to be right and expecting our loved one to meet our standards, can we love that individual enough to see that being right and winning aren’t the primary objectives in a relationship? Read the story to know what argument took place between this couple and let us know how you would handle the situation.

My f26 husband m31 woke up “not in the mood” this morning and told me to make him a cup of coffee before he went to work. I went and made it with extra sugar just like how he always likes it but when I handed it to him and he tasted it, he made a face and said it was too sweet.
I told him this is how he usually has it but he said he wasn’t in a good mood today and told me to make another one. Mind you I was already 20mins late for work, I told him no and he already had one and should just drink it. next thing I knew he dropped the cup on the floor “purposely” and said that “he no longer has it” and I should go ahead and make another one. I refused and then we had an argument and I just walked out.
He texted me a bunch later saying I disrespected him and forced him to not have his daily coffee by acting stubborn and having an attitude. then reminded me of how much work he’s picked and how much time and rest he’d sacrificed in order to help me while I was recovering from the birth of our son and that was just the first week then I had to get up. He said I owe him, and that I should’ve returned at least one of his many favors instead of deciding to ruin his day. I came home and he’s here refusing to even look at me. Am I A Jerk? Should I have just taken 5 minutes to make him another one?
