I was flipping channels during a commercial and saw a snippet of a comedy show. The husband said something like "Well if we're going to argue, can we at least do so naked?" I think its a great idea. Who could stay angry? Or argue in silly hats or a groucho type glasses and nose disguise...sometimes things need to be aired and discussed -does anyone have any other ideas for having a - er heated discussion without having it get too negative?

Gah I can just see it now. It'd be quite a distraction so one party could take a lopsided advantage. On the other hand, compromises could occur.
Hubby: ...And I say I don't need to clean the garage today!
Wifey: That thing has been a mess for quite awhile now!
Hubby: Kitchen's that way too
Wifey: What was that
*1st article of clothing gone*
Hubby: This is kinda funny but cool, oh I'm not cleaning it out!
Wifey: I've cleaned the kitchen more times than, yea this is weird...but intriguing
*2nd article of clothing gone*
Hubby: Um, what was I arguing about again?
Wifey: You said you were gonna clean the garage
Hubby: Huh, really? Coulda sworn it was something about the kitchen
Wifey: Grrr...
*naked*
[Stuff happens]
Wifey: So we agree, we'll clean each one together?
Hubby: If we can do this every argument then yea.
Could work out, and it might save some marriages. Of course, if they see each other naked even casually, then this may not work at all.

Most definitely! Its nice have found someone who gains the interests you do at the same time - and he brings it up first -and its the same things I've been thinking of or researching - like green houses - as in growing plants and eco-friendly houses and the like.And I feel lucky we have the same plans in mind for our child.

Sigh...young love. :)
It might be repetitive but I wish you, your husband and your family well. I'm sure you'll make plenty of sweet memories as a family.

I'm blessed in that the missus and I rarely argue for more then a min. or so. However, I can see the point in that...If you are naked you can't hide anything and the item you are arguing about can be shown for its pettiness.
Now the missus and I will playfully banter back and forth on stupid issues like types of cheese for a dish, but we realize that these are superficial and neither cares. So, its just fun arguing a stupid point and try to get really stupid with it.
For what its worth, we've been married 12 years with only one larger argument.

I think that's great. My husband and I had two arguments - and they were while I was pregnant. One was about Hitler, one about Walmart. I'm all for bantering....

I think only crazy people would do that thing. As a bystander, I do not know that they had the courage or crazy or both, but I am sure I can not do that.
