When I told my Grandfather that I was planning on getting married he offered myself and others a massive piece of advice.
He told myself and others that I should constantly choose my battles in my relationship! Do not bother trying to argument over every single thing or you are going to make each other annoyed.
I understand what he was saying when he offered myself and others this piece of advice. I try my best to follow it all the time… Including when my heating, cooling, and air quality control devices are in question. You see, when my husbandy and I moved in together both of us suddenly realized that both of us have polar opposite opinions about indoor air temperature control. She likes to operate the oil furnace at all times because he is chronically cold. I love to live with natural ventilation and leverage as much fresh air climate control as possible. As such, both of us find ourselves in a bit of a squash when it comes to our thermostat programming, and of course, both of us both want the other man to be comfortable… But both of us also need to take care of our own temperature control needs. This is why both of us wind up bickering a lot as both of us tried to compromise over the thermostat setting on a daily basis. For a while both of us tried to compromise by taking turns with the thermostat and our own temperature control preferences. However, it turns out, it is energetically and financially overpriced to be modifying your indoor air temperature control settings so often. It got to the point that both of us were officially bickering over the stupid heating, cooling, and air quality control system. On the verge of going into couples counseling, I decided that this was a battle I should lose. I let my husbandy take over the thermostat and never looked back.
