Love is patient and love is gentle, but sometimes... sometimes you have to get a little creative to maneuver the things that usually cause fights between couples in other ways.

If you still don't understand the vision, read the tricks these smart women use to avoid potential arguments with their partners:

1. "I make up stories about things that 'my friend's husband' 'does' and tell him, 'Thank goodness you never do that,' when in fact they are things he does that I don't like. After that, he doesn't repeat those actions again."

2. "I always wear the same perfume when I want to go out to buy things, and now, after 10 years of marriage, when I smell the perfume, I understand the signal."

3. "I wear a certain perfume whenever I want to have sex. I once wore it during a family party and it was mind-blowing. ;)"

4. "When he can't find something he's looking for and asks for my help, I make him buy me a book. Needless to say, I have quite the library now."

5. "I always jokingly tell her, 'We have to do the dishes and we have to have sex. I only have the energy for one.' She always does the dishes in record time."

6. "I cook at home. When the food isn't good, I tell him at first that it turned out that way because he was upset about something. When it happens again, he realizes that he's upset about something and corrects himself. Lucky me, sometimes my food turns out bad, even by accident. :)"

7. "When we had our first child, to keep from making a fuss, we fought with signs. When I pointed my fingers at him like a pistol, he knew he had made me very angry. The boy is grown now, but I still use it as a tactic. It works every time."

8. When I'm bored, we play a game of pretending we're strangers and start flirting. For example, I see her in the kitchen and I say, 'What good did it do you to bring me here? You know my husband's not home, right?' She always knows how to keep me entertained."

9. "When he gets completely hung up on housework, I start doing nothing too. The dishes get dirty, the unwashed clothes stink. I don't even mention it to him. He figures it out on his own and starts cleaning."

10. "When we have something to buy, I show him the most expensive one first and pretend it's what I want. Then, I show him the one I really want, which is cheaper than the first one, but not the cheapest you can find."

11. "As long as we keep getting repetitive, when something that hasn't been done at home bothers us, we just put a toy elephant on top of it. That way, we show each other the 'elephant in the room', without tedious arguments."

12. "We have given our judgmental thoughts a name. For example, I don't say 'This shirt is so ugly,' I say 'Mimoza thinks this shirt doesn't suit you.' The situation becomes very entertaining."

13. "During pointless arguments, we put birthday hats on our heads. How can you argue seriously with a ridiculous birthday hat on your head?"

14. "I like to say to him, 'Do you know what I admire about you?' and list the qualities I want him to have. By believing them, he starts to make them a reality. It works wonders."

15. "It sounds serious, I got divorced so he would take me seriously. We remarried last August."
