Think About What Your Partner Says.
Your wife is probably right when she says that you shouldn’t let a stranger into your jewelry collection. These are the two most important lessons anyone can learn from anything. It’s possible that she was being too careful, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Sincerity would have told him to just take the stuff out of the car and put it back where it belonged instead of arguing with her about it.
Once upon a time, a wise person asked, “Would you rather be happy or right?” That’s the question I keep coming back to in this situation. If this is the rule you live by in your marriage, it will do well. Make sure you have some salt on hand while you think about how wise that suggestion is. If you don’t want to agree to stupid things, you need a partner who is at least averagely smart.
