139 Tuesdays

I’ve been married for 45 years.
It has not always been smooth (!)
We often got into fights that fit the saying: “Divorce? Never! But Murder…”

We use ‘Tuesday‘ whether for marriage /fights or any other emotional overload.
We agreed ahead-of-time that whatever we decide, we’ll do it on Tuesday.
When the yelling gets too much and we decide to divorce, we invoke our Tuesday rule:
If by Tuesday we still want to, then we will.
Same with worry, being mad at our children, kicking them out of the house, handling parents, etc.

When you decide to quit your job or smack someone, say to yourself that you’ll do it on Tuesday if you still want to by then.

I’ve been married for 45 years. (3 children, 2 dogs)
It works.
