Agree to this with your partner ahead of time: The next time you are having a seriously non-serious, escalating argument with your significant other over one of those things that is so ridiculous that to try and explain it later makes you red in the face with embarrassment, go over to the stereo, put in the song “I Need A Lover (that won’t drive me crazy)” by John Cougar Mellencamp, turn it up to 11, and dance — shake your head, throw your arms up, kick out your legs, move all around the room, hop up and down on the couch, knock some shit over, point fingers, shout it out at the top of your lungs, stare each other down and dance, dance, dance… with each other.
