Dear Dr. Patty Ann,
My wife and I are always arguing over what to do on the weekend. I like to stay home and watch sports on TV and my wife would prefer we go out for dinner or socialize with friends. Can you help us resolve these fights once and for all?

Dear Weekend Fighters,
Sure, this is easy. Compromise is the word of the day. Both you and your wife should agree to spend the weekend engaged in the activities you each prefer every other week. So you get your way 50% of the time and your wife gets her way 50% of the time. This is a win-win! If a special playoff game is scheduled for your wife’s weekend – since it is a scheduled game – talk with your wife about this ahead of time and negotiate a weekend switch.
