Marital Woes: A Wife's Dilemma after 14 Years

Dear Abby: My husband and I first connected over debates in high school, but after 14 years, I find myself drained by constant arguing.
Finding Common Ground
My husband and I used to thrive on debating every topic, but now I feel overwhelmed by his need to argue over the simplest opinions. I have tried letting him win just to keep the peace, but it's not working.
Seeking Solutions
I have realized that my priorities have shifted towards our children, and I no longer have the energy for non-stop debating. I need to find a way to communicate my feelings to my husband without causing further conflict.
Expert Advice
Dear Abby suggests that some couples use arguments as a form of intimacy, but it's important for me to express my feelings to my husband. Seeking the help of a marriage and family therapist may be beneficial in navigating this change in our communication.
