Riding Scooters Stops Arguments

This might sound weird, but hear me out…

This last weekend, my partner and I wanted to leave town, but we had some vehicle issues so we had to stick around at home and make the most of it. When this happens, we tend to be a little more on edge because we’d rather be out adventuring and exploring, instead of at home trying to find new things to do.

Like most couples, we get into arguments about really, really stupid little things that don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. You know, things like what to have for dinner or which route driving is faster.
