Jesse and I have what several people have called a "strange relationship." We almost never disagree on the important stuff, yet we manage to argue about stupid mundane stuff all the time. Last month when we were in Utah Jesse made a comment that he wondered when they would rebuild the Ogden temple. I of course told him that they would never rebuild a temple. It seemed irreverent to even suggest it in my mind. We argued back and forth for a while. A week or two after we returned home Jesse sent me an email with an article from the church. They had announced that they were rebuilding the Ogden Temple. Of course, they aren't actually tearing it down, just rebuilding the outside to make it look less spaceship-y.
Then on Thursday we went to the beach. I saw a sign showing the tsunami evacuation route, laughed, and said, "Ya right, like a tsunami would ever hit Southern California." Of course that one started a debate. Well, wouldn't you know it, just two days later that very beach is on tsunami watch.
So as I see it, there are two possible lessons to be gleaned here. One, I need to learn to stop arguing with my husband on the dumb little things. Or two, I need to get better at doing research to prove my side of the argument. I'm tempted to go with number 2.

That sounds just like the kind of stuff Matt and I always disagree on!
