Controlling Anger

We have a great tradition at my house. It revovles around avoiding arguments. We commit to each other (my wife, myself, my daughter and my son) to never make a purchase over twenty dollars that we haven’t discussed. We figure this is one way to control any bitterness or resentment when someone (especially my wife, if I may) spends a considerable amount of our limited budget. We include everything from food items to clothing. We even had a meeting over obtaining one of those kitchen carts. Which, by the way, was one of the most useful purchases we have ever made.
