I found this poem which is a wonderful view of such a theme Debate
so tell me what you think
Debate
We debate about the stupidest things–
what station the alarm will play
and how loudly in the morning,
which is the shortest route
between here and there
and do we really need to stop
to grab a bite before we arrive?
Nothing is sacred in our bickering–
not what we will have for dinner
or watch on the television before we
crawl into the bed we left unmade
because we can’t agree on anything
not even the number of pillows or
which of us loves the other more.
