Marriage Lesson 1

Marriage Lesson 1: Mexican music solves it all

In 4 years of marriage I have learned A LOT. However, I, by no means, claim to be an expert. One thing I have never known how to do properly is get over that awkward silence after an argument. You all know what I'm talking about...

You've been in the car together for a good 10 minutes and your innocent disagreement has now escalated into an all out screaming fest. Once you both figure out its going no where you retreat to your respective corners (well, sides of the car) and sit. In silence. Mulling over the events that just took place and how your significant other is a significant idiot. Then you think, "well, maybe he did have a point..." but you are not ABOUT to utter those words aloud. So you continue to sit on your side of the car, staring out the window as if you still believe you were 100% correct. 


Where do you go from here? Who breaks the tension and how do you do it? Listen readers, because I am about to tell you the ultimate secret to ending that awkward silence so you can get on with your day. Who ever would've thought my sweet Adam had the answer all along...


Mexican music. No, I'm not messing with you. 


Think about it. You could be absolutely furious (either at your spouse or the fact that he was right), but the moment Jose Pablo Martinez Sanchez starts belting out "Bésame, bésame mucho Como si fuera esta noche La última vez" flailing those maracas and your husband starts blaring it while driving down the freeway, you can't help but smile. 


And just like that, you slink from your corners and return to normal conversation. Its that easy. Who knew? Mexican music solves it all.
